Harsh Dubey, Gurnoor Brar take three wickets each as India restrict Afghanistan to 194 in 1st ODI

Dharamsala: Debutants Harsh Dubey and Gurnoor Brar took three wickets apiece but Rahmanullah Gurbaz's quickfire 102 powered Afghanistan to 194 in their rain-truncated opening ODI against India here on Saturday.

The contest was reduced to a 25-overs-per-side affair due to relentless rain earlier in the day.

Dubey was slightly expensive but returned 3/47 from his allotted five overs while Brar remained consistent in his pace to return 4.5-0-27-3.


But it was the Afghan opener who dazzled with a 51-ball 102 which included eight hits to the fence and as many over it.

Brief scores: Afghanistan 194 in 24.5 overs (Rahmanullah Gurbaz 102; Arshdeep Singh 2/27, Gurnoor Brar 3/27, Harsh Dubey 3/47, Nitish Kumar Reddy 2/31) vs India.
