Afghanistan, which defeated Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in its group games, struggled in the Super 4 stage, losing all three games. India was also unable to reach the final after losing to Sunday’s finalists, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Ibrahim Zadran top-scored with an unbeaten 64, but the rest of Afghanistan’s batting lineup crumbled against Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s outstanding new-ball bowling.
