Rain showers delay the start of the first India-Afghanistan one-day cricket match
Rain has delayed the toss and the start of the first match of a three-match one-day international series between India and Afghanistan
DHARAMSHALA, India — Rain has delayed the toss and the start of the first match of a three-match one-day international series between India and Afghanistan on Saturday.
It is the first bilateral ODI cricket series between the countries. The teams have only met at World Cups and Asia Cups in the one-day format, with India winning three of the four matches and the other ending in a tie.
India comes into the match having lost three of its past five ODIs while Afghanistan has won four in a row. Last week, India completed an innings and 300-run win over Afghanistan in a one-off test inside three days.
Gurbaz hits ton but Afghanistan 194 all out in rain-hit India ODI
Dharamsala (India) (AFP) – Skipper Shubman Gill's unbeaten 84 and inspired bowling led India to an emphatic seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in a rain-reduced 25-overs-a-side ODI contest on Saturday.
Chasing 195 for victory, India needed on Gill's 66-ball knock to achieve the target with 13 balls to spare in Dharamsala and lead the three-match series 1-0.
The bi-lateral series is the first between the two nations in the 50-over format.
Afghanistan posted 194 all out despite opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz's 102 as the rest of the batting faltered after the match started four hours and 15 minutes late due to persistent rain.
Indian debutants Gurnoor Brar, a fast bowler, and Harsh Dubey, a left-arm-spinner, took three wickets each to bowl out Afghanistan in 24.5 overs after Gurbaz's ninth ODI century.

These two nations met earlier this month in a one-off test, with India prevailing by an innings and 300 runs. Now, Afghanistan will look to get revenge in these ODIs.
India comes into this match on a fairly long win streak, having won five consecutive matches, with its last loss coming in World Cup play in February, when the team lost to South Africa in the Super 8 stage before going on to win the T20 World Cup against New Zealand.
