CHENNAI, India (AP) — Prasidh Krishna picked his maiden five-wicket haul and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 110 not out as India beat Afghanistan by nine wickets to complete a three-game ODI series sweep Saturday.<\/p>\n

Krishna picked 5-23 in 8.2 overs as Afghanistan was bowled out for 218 (44.2 overs) after it won the toss and opted to bat. Skipper Hashmatullah Shahid scored 102 off 131 balls.<\/p>\n

In reply, India was never in any trouble as Jaiswal struck his second ODI hundred, while also putting up 170 runs for the opening wicket with Rohit Sharma.<\/p>\n

Sharma scored 79 off 69 balls. Jaiswal was unbeaten in the end as India wrapped up the game with 224-1 in 28.4 overs — leaving 21.2 overs to spare.<\/p>\n

India had already clinched the series with a 170-run win in the second match at Lucknow and a seven-wicket victory in the rain-shortened first match at Dharamshala.<\/p>\n

It was the first-ever bilateral ODI series between the two sides.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Krishna struck quick blows with the new ball — Afghanistan lost four wickets in 9.2 overs.<\/p>\n

Sharma aided Krishna with his initial burst and took three catches at slip — Rahmanullah Gurbaz was out for 5, while Ibrahim Zadran (11) and Rahmat Shah (5) also fell cheaply.<\/p>\n

Darwish Rasooli was also caught off Krishna, trying to hit out, as Afghanistan was down to 36-4.<\/p>\n

Shahidi then saved the day for Afghanistan, anchoring his side with a maiden ODI century off 128 balls. He held one end together, hitting 13 fours and a six, and put up 105 runs for the fifth wicket with Azmatullah Omarzai.<\/p>\n

Omarzai scored 50 off 56 balls, but Afghanistan never recovered after the initial blows. Mohammad Nabi added 21 runs, but no other batters contributed in double digits.<\/p>\n

Then, Jaiswal-Sharma sped off with the chase as India scored 81-0 in the first 10 overs.<\/p>\n

Jaiswal scored 50 off 38 balls with seven fours and a six, then hit another six and six fours to score his next 50 off the next 45 balls.<\/p>\n

It was a second century for Jaiswal in three ODI innings — he is not a regular opener for India just yet and only played his fifth ODI on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed batting out there,” he said. “I got runs in the powerplay so I just wanted to keep going. Selection is not in my control, but I try to work hard as much as I can. I have support from the team management and the communication has been good. I am only trying to convert whatever chances I get.”<\/p>\n

Sharma scored his 61st half-century off 47 balls, but fell close to the century mark, out caught off Nabi in the 23rd over.<\/p>\n

Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer (20 not out) added a quickfire 54 off 35 balls to race across the finish line.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan is yet to win a game against India across all formats.<\/p>\n
