India won the ODI World Cup match against Afghanistan in New Delhi on Wednesday by eight wickets. Afghanistan batted first after winning the toss and lost three early wickets in the game. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai played sensible cricket and made crucial runs to post a fighting total of 272 runs.

India started the chase with Captain Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. They played attacking cricket from the start and put pressure on the Afghan bowlers. Rohit Sharma smashed the fastest fifty for India in World Cups and also broke Chris Gayle's record of the most sixes in International Cricket. Virat Kohli also scored a run-a-ball fifty and helped India register a comfortable win of 8 wickets against Afghanistan.

Now India's next match is against arch-rivals Pakistan in Ahmedabad on Saturday (October 14).
