Missed Review Opportunities
Afghanistan's position could have improved if they had properly utilized the umpire decision review system.
Pace bowler Azmatullah Omarzai struck Gill on the pads when the batsman was on 108, but Afghanistan declined to review the not-out decision despite ball-tracking technology later showing it would have hit leg stump.
Omarzai also beat Pant on the outside edge when the batsman was on 54 runs.
UltraEdge technology later confirmed a feather edge off the bat, but Afghanistan opted against a review.
This marked the third referral error by the Afghanistan team in the match.
