India vs Afghanistan, Super Four, Asia Cup 2018 Match Tied: List of All ODI Matches India Played That Ended in a TIE!

India played against Afghanistan in an inconsequential Super 4 round match at Asia Cup 2018, on Tuesday. The match result was a tie, and it was for the eighth time in cricket history that the Indian team was involved in a tied match in the One Day International (ODI) format. The match saw the return of MS Dhoni as India’s captain as India had decided to rest key players in the game.
