IND vs AFG Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s World Cup Match Between India and Afghanistan, World Cup, 9th Match

As good as Afghanistan is in franchise Cricket, their players continue to struggle to convert internationally. They failed to win a single game in the last World Cup and crumbled with ease against Bangladesh. Batting through the innings and challenging the Indian Team are going to be the targets here.

The last time both teams faced of in the World Cup, Afghanistan came very close to beating India. If not for a Final over hat-trick from Mohammad Shami, India may have been on the receiving end of an upset. Will Shami play this time though? With Delhi likely to remain flat, India may be thinking about bringing Shami or Shardul in for Ashwin.

The Indian Team was pretty good with the ball in the first game and winning after being 2 for 3 will give them a lot of confidence. They still have worries with the top order and will hope such concerns are solved soon.

IND vs AFG Key Players

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Quick starts and early runs are going to very crucial. With a track that is likely to ease out soon, Afghanistan will want Rahmanullah Gurbaz to get going as soon as possible and bat deep to get them to a good position with the bat.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul has been surprising many after his comeback. From being a player who silently gets runs in the middle and turns out to be inconsistent when the going gets tough, India has found a middle-order batter who can be relied on. He is doing a really good job and India will hope he continues to be their middle-order solution.

IND vs AFG Match Tips

India remains favorite but with Afghanistan’s spin attack and going by how they fared in the last World Cup encounter with India they may have back themselves to have an outside chance.
