IND vs AFG Dream11 Prediction — Asian Games Men's T20I 2026, Quarter-Final 2

IND vs AFG Match Details — Quarter-Final 2

Defending champions India start their title defense in the quarterfinals, drawing Afghanistan in a rematch of the rain-shortened Hangzhou 2023 gold medal match. India has sent a nearly full-strength squad led by Shreyas Iyer, coming off a 2-0 series win over Afghanistan's national side in Delhi earlier this month, in which Abhishek Sharma (82 off 32) and Sanju Samson (57 off 22) shone with the bat. Afghanistan, on the other hand, arrives with the young squad that they fielded through the group stage — Darwish Rasooli's side defeated hosts Japan before losing to Nepal, a match that was eventually washed out and settled on seeding, thereby leaving Afghanistan as Group A runners-up.

IND vs AFG — Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin, Aichi Pitch Report

Korogi Sports Park is a brand new venue hosting its inaugural major tournament, so there is no extensive historical scoring data. The surface has provided consistent bounce and reliable help to pace bowlers throughout the group stage, and with a wet outfield already causing multiple no-results this week, batting teams will need to adjust quickly to a new, seam-friendly track.

• Win Batting First: 45%

• Win Bowling First: 55%

• Best Suited For: Pace (55%)

Average Scores

• Average 1st Innings: 145

• Average 2nd Innings: 128

IND vs AFG Toss Prediction

With persistent rain and early pace assistance available, captains are likely to favor bowling first to assess conditions, although this could be a reduced-overs or rain-shortened match.

Prediction: India to win the toss and opt to bowl first.

India vs Afghanistan Match Prediction – Who Will Win

India enters this quarter-final as clear favorites, with a nearly full-strength squad that recently swept a T20I series 2-0 against Afghanistan's senior side, with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson both in excellent form at the top of the order, and Jasprit Bumrah returning to spearhead the attack. Afghanistan's Asian Games squad, which is missing Rashid Khan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Azmatullah Omarzai, is a newly rising group that will need the unique talent from Darwish Rasooli and Najibullah Zadran to trouble an established Indian lineup. Persistent rain in Nisshin is the biggest variable, with India set to advance in seeding if the match is not completed.

Prediction: India (IND) to win.
