The 33rd fixture of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is scheduled between India and Afghanistan on 03rd Nov. at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, at 07:30 PM IST. Here are IND vs AFG Match Predictions.
IND Vs AFG MATCH PREDICTIONS: PREVIEW
India:
- Currently, Team India were standing at the 5th position by losing 2 out of 2 games and with an NRR of -1.609.
- Virat Kohli and his team were clueless in both of their encounters against Pakistan and New Zealand.
- In both games, the batsmen appeared utterly out of touch, including Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and others looked to be trapped at the crease.
- Captain Kohli, on the other hand, restored himself with a brilliant fifty versus Pakistan.
- India needs a quick turnaround to at least survive the competition with their confidence also to be lifted up.
Afghanistan:
- Afghanistan standing at the 2nd position by winning 2 out of 3 games and with an NRR of +3.097.
- Afghanistan recently won their against Namibia by 62 runs.
- In the T20 World Cup, AFG batsmen are playing some daring cricket, even putting Pakistan’s in-form bowlers at risk.
- It will be a major source of concern for India. Their spin attack, led by Rashid Khan, is also in top form.
- Hamid Hassan seems to have given them a choice.
WEATHER REPORT:
The temperature in Abu Dhabi will be around 22 degrees. As a result, Dew might just be the primary consideration in the team’s attempt, to keep its dominance on the field.
PITCH REPORT:
The surface in Abu Dhabi might provide plenty of challenges for the batsmen in this game, as slower bowlers, particularly spinners, have found a lot of help. Both teams have bowlers who can take advantage of the conditions, and because it is an evening game, dew might show its impact.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI:
India Predicted XI:
Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy/ R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah
Afghanistan Predicted XI:
Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, Usman Ghani, Mohammad Nabi (c), Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Karim Janat, Hamid Hassan, Naveen-ul-Haq
