Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai then put on an unbroken 111 to get Jonathan Trott's side over the line with 28 balls to spare in Pune.
Victory moves Afghanistan to within two points of fourth-placed Australia.

McDonald's has condemned what it called disinformation over the Israel-Gaza war after boxes of live mice were released in three of its restaurants in apparent protests.
RMS Titanic Incorporated, a for-profit venture created to capitalise on Titanic remains, the company was founded in the late 1980s by a bizarre group of businessmen, including a BMW dealer and former People’s Court producer. After a legal battle — in which a federal judge criticised the deep-sea excavation as grave robbing — RMS Titanic Inc. was granted exclusive salvage rights to the Titanic wreck site in 1994, which it holds to this day.
At the end of the exhibit is a banner reading “We are all passengers of the Titanic,” attributed to Irish philosopher Jack Foster, though I could find no context for the ominous quote existing outside the exhibition — maybe just planted to contribute to the mythic quality. I’m sticking with my commemorative mug.
It is suspected that around 164 of the Titanic’s passengers were Irish, 110 of which lost their lives, while 54 survived.
One of the survivors, and the longest-lasting Irish survivor of the Titanic, was Cork woman Ellen ‘Nellie’ Shine.
The sight of Manchester United's players offering futile thanks to thousands of empty red seats was an image that defined the painful embarrassment they suffered at the hands of Manchester City.

1993 – The Maastricht Treaty takes effect, formally establishing the European Union.
Tranmere Rovers have appointed interim boss Nigel Adkins their permanent manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The 58-year-old was made technical director in the summer before taking over first-team affairs in September after Ian Dawes was sacked.
The League Two strugglers have won two of his nine league games in charge.
"It's an honour to take the manager's role at a club I previously played for, and which is my home-town club," he told the club website.
"I have no illusions that we have work to do given our very poor start to the season, however I would not have accepted this role on a permanent basis if I was not confident that we can put it right.
"The infrastructure and support that is in place at Tranmere Rovers is top quality."
Adkins, who played in goal for Rovers between 1983 and 1986, has had spells in charge of Scunthorpe, Southampton, Reading, Sheffield United, Hull City and Charlton.
He twice led the Iron to promotion from League One and guided Southampton from the third tier to the Premier League.
Tranmere are second-bottom in League Two, three points adrift of safety after four successive defeats.
They visit League One Stevenage in the FA Cup first round on Saturday.
The last member of the Great Train Robbery gang Bobby Welch has passed away peacefully in his home.
It is understood that he died from natural causes at his home in Brockley, south London, and his funeral is due to take place on Wednesday, according to The Sun.
Bobby had been the longest surviving member of the 15 man crew who swiped £2.6million from a Royal Mail train in 1963.
He was sentenced to 30 years in jail following the robbery and was released in 1976.
Bobby was later left crippled after an operation on his leg went wrong and later had it amputated.
Nick Reynolds, son of the gang's leader Bruce Reynolds, who died aged 81 in 2013, told The Sun: 'It is the end of an era. Bobby was a very decent straight forward man who lived for his family.
'He was angry about the train robbery and about what happened to him in prison.
'He liked my dad though he thought he was a little bit flash.
'Despite his leg, he managed to outlive the rest of the gang and that's probably as he had the support of his wife and family.'
The 1963 raid was carried out by a 15-member gang on a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London in August 1963.
The gang masterminded by Bruce Reynolds stopped the Glasgow-Euston overnight mail train as it passed through the Buckinghamshire countryside close to Cheddington.
