AFG vs IND — Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi has little grass cover, giving pacers some early movement with the new ball before leveling out into a good batting surface. Square boundaries are on the shorter side, so totals accumulate quickly during the powerplay, and spinners gain more traction as the pitch slows down during the middle overs. Dew is a major factor in night games here, making life difficult for the bowling team in the second innings.

Afghanistan vs India Match Prediction – Who Will Win

With the series already wrapped up 2-0, India will be confident of completing a flawless sweep during the dead-rubber finale, particularly with Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Nitish Kumar Reddy all in top form. Afghanistan will be desperate to finish the tour on a high note and avoid a historic whitewash against India, and a fully fit Rashid Khan could be the key to a more competitive match. Even with possible rotation in the India XI, their bat depth and bowling variety should make them early favorites.

Prediction: India (IND) to win.
