India will lock horns against Afghanistan in the 32nd match of the T20 World Cup 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Team India has lost both their matches in the T20I showpiece and it is not going to be a cakewalk for them against an unpredictable Afghanistan team.
We have got Match Prediction on the basis of current form, head-to-head, stats, and players to watch out for in the upcoming match.
Current form for India: L W W L L
India hasn’t been at their best and they have failed to come up with a collective batting performance. The Virat Kohli-led team could only post 151 runs against arch-rivals Pakistan and then they could only manage 110 runs against New Zealand.
Furthermore, India’s bowling has looked toothless as they have failed to trouble the opposition batters. Thus, Team India will need to pull up their socks.
Current form for Afghanistan: W L W L W
Afghanistan won their previous match against Namibia by a massive margin of 62 runs. The Afghan spinners are world-class and they can trouble the out-of-form Indian batters. The Mohammad Nabi-led will have their work cut against India but they certainly have the potential to cause an upset.
Head to Head: Matches: 2, Won by Afghanistan: 0, Won by India: 2.
India has won both their matches against Afghanistan.
Players to watch out for – Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Varun Chakravarthy, and Jasprit Bumrah will hold the key for the Indian team.
Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Hazratullah Zazai, Najibullah Zadran, and Asghar Afghan will be the crucial players for Afghanistan.
Match Prediction: India will enter the contest as favorites against Afghanistan.
