Indians ease past Afghans

Suryakumar's 53 was his 19th fifty in the format and helped India post a challenging 181/8 in their second-round Super 8s opener.

Experienced fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (above) then combined with spin trio Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja to strangle Afghanistan, seen by many as dark horses for the title, who were dismissed for 134 off the last ball.

Afghanistan slipped quickly to 23/3, losing openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz (11) and Hazratullah Zazai (two) to the wily Bumrah while Patel sent back Ibrahim Zadran (eight).
