Alright, that's it from us folks!

This was a massive win for India, and a much needed shot in the arm. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma stood out with the bat, while Mohammed Shami and R Ashwin did well with the ball. While India's future is no longer in their own hands, if New Zealand were to slip up, they could still be in with a chance. Do make sure to tune back in tomorrow, and stay updated about the two matches on the cards. Until then, goodbye, goodnight and happy Diwali!

Virat Kohli: "Much better wicket to be fair. We spoke about how in the other games, if we had two overs of free-flowing batting, then that would have sent a message to the opposition that we are going to put you under the pump.

Sometimes, you fall to the pressure and have to accept it. T20 cricket is a very instinctive game, in batting, bowling and decision-making. We make our decisions on the go. The top three is mostly settled unless situations like today when the openers batted all the way through and the power-hitters were ready.

We don't always decide early to go hard, but we back ourselves and when we get going, we know what we can do. To keep playing this way is the plan, but as I said, sometimes you give in to the pressure. The other teams bowled really well.

Net Run Rate was on my mind to be honest. We are always positive, and so we're thinking about it.

The return of R Ashwin is a positive, he did well in the IPL and when he does this, we get control in the middle. That's what I'm most pleased about."

Mohammad Nabi: "We wanted to bat second because of dew, the wicket looked really good for batting. In the end there wasn't much dew. India batted well on this pitch and put our bowlers under pressure. We didn't rotate strike properly, we threw away wickets."

Rohit Sharma, PotM: "The idea was to get off to a good start, which didn't happen in the first two games. We wanted to lay a good foundation, a platform so other batters could come in and do well too. KL Rahul played so well from the other end, the partnership was crucial.

Looking at the trend, Afghanistan have batted first, so we were expecting to field first. It was a good pitch to bat on, so getting to a respectable total was important. We knew that the NRR would come in to play at some time, so we wanted a big win.

Whatever the team requires, I have to do that. Today it was necessary for us to get off and running today. Usually I like to assess the situation, take some time, but today we needed to go full tilt from the start."

India win by 66 runs!

After 20 overs,Afghanistan 144/7 ( Karim Janat 42 , Sharafuddin Ashraf 2)

Hardik Pandya to bowl the final over. He's hit for FOUR on the first ball, Janat beats the sweeper to his left. Four singles, and then a SIX to end! That was hammered hard over extra cover. India win by 66 runs! After a spectacular batting display, they do well with the ball, with Shami picking up three wickets and Ashwin getting two. It was a must-win match for India, and mathematically, their semi-final hopes remain alive.

After 19 overs,Afghanistan 130/7 ( Karim Janat 30 , Sharafuddin Ashraf 0)

Shami to bowl his final over now. Starts with a wide and then OUT! It's a slower ball from Shami, and Mohammad Nabi gets his timing ever so slightly wrong, hitting his shot into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at the cow corner boundary. OUT! Mohammed Shami's got two in two thanks to a spectacular catch from Ravindra Jadeja! Oh no, wait, it's not out. The TV replay shows that it just grazed the ground as Jadeja took it. It was pretty special though, I'd have given it if it were up to me. Anyway, Shami strikes again! This time there's no debate as Rashid hits straight into the hands of Hardik Pandya at long on! Doubel, single and dot to end the over. Shami finishes with figures of 4-0-32-3.

After 17 overs,Afghanistan 109/5 ( Mohammad Nabi (C) 22 , Karim Janat 23)

Bumrah's final over, and he's hit for FOUR! Of all people, it's a midfield from Ravindra Jadeja, who overran the ball and ended up slipping as it passed behind him. Single, and then Nabi puts away a wide full toss for FOUR! It's clattered past the backward point fielder, who valiantly tried to dive and stop it despite not having a cat in hell's chance. A dot, and then two wides from Bumrah. Unnecessary runs these. Two dots to end the over, Bumrah finishes with figures of 4-0-25-1.

After 16 overs,Afghanistan 98/5 ( Mohammad Nabi (C) 18 , Karim Janat 18)

Shardul Thakur to bowl his second over. Starts with a single, and then he's hit for SIX! Janat managed to get a ridiculous amount of power on his shot, and it flies over fine leg. That was a dismissive shot. Single, dot and two more singles follow. 

After 15 overs,Afghanistan 88/5 ( Mohammad Nabi (C) 16 , Karim Janat 10)

Bumrah returns to bowl his third over. First one's a dot, and then almost a run out! Lovely throw from Jadeja, but it looked like Nabi had crossed the line. Yeah, he was in by a couple of feet at least. Oof, short and quick delivery from Bumrah, Janat has to duck to avoid having his helmet rattled. Single, dot and single to end the over.

After 14 overs,Afghanistan 85/5 ( Mohammad Nabi (C) 14 , Karim Janat 9)

Ashwin's final over, can he pick up another wicket? Four singles to start. While it's highly unlikely that Afghanistan will win this now, India still need to try and get them out as soon as possible, because their Net Run Rate is quite low at the moment. Dot and single to end, Ashwin finishes with figures of 4-0-14-2. Not bad for someone playing their first T20I in over four years.
