Team news
India entered this match after a comfortable six-wicket win over Australia in their opening match. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli led the way with the bat, while Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal were the stars with the ball.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, lost their opening match to Bangladesh by six wickets. They were bowled out for just 222 runs despite a half-century from Najibullah Zadran. However, Afghanistan showed a great fight with the ball, and they will be looking to perform better against India.
The Afghanistan bowling attack is one of the best in the world and will be a challenge for the Indian batters. Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Fazalhaq Farooqi are world-class bowlers.
