Sanju Samson scored 57 off 22 balls as India beat Afghanistan by seven wickets to clinch their three-match T20 series with a match to spare on Tuesday.
Samson hit four sixes and seven fours en route to his first half-century since this year’s T20 World Cup final – where he was named player of the tournament.
His opening partner Abhishek Sharma scored 39 off 19 balls – including four sixes – as the duo amassed 88 off only 38 balls.
Samson and Sharma set a hectic pace as India raced to 82-0 in the powerplay. Afghanistan used spin in the powerplay as compared to the first game, but to no avail.
