In the end it was a tie, a result both teams would not be happy with as they had their chances to win the game. Even without in-form openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, India should have beaten Afghanistan in the Asia Cup on Tuesday. But it was not to be as Ravindra Jadeja chose to play an aerial shot rather than tap the ball for the winning run.

Two umpiring howlers, a couple of run-outs and poor shot selection cost India dear after they were at cruising at 127 for 1 in pursuit of the 253-run target. The foremost reason were the two howlers by West Indian umpire Gregory Braithwaite. He adjudged stand-in skipper MS Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik leg before when the ball was clearly drifting down the leg-side.
