India national cricket team vs Afghanistan national cricket team timeline
Australia and Bangladesh have joined both teams in Group 1 of the Super Eight stage. England, the West Indies, South Africa, and the USA are in Group 2. At this time, the competition gets tougher and strategic plays start.
Important Players And Plans
| Team | Key Players | Role | Strategy |
| India | Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal | Batting | Possibly moving Kohli to No. 3, strengthening the batting |
| Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal | Bowling | Focusing on spin bowling | |
| Afghanistan | Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman | Spin Bowling | Utilizing spin to challenge India’s top order |
India wants Virat Kohli to have a better event because he has only scored five runs in three games. If Yashasvi Jaiswal is added, it could change how the batters play, which could mean that Kohli moves to the No. 3 spot. The pitches in the Caribbean might be better for spinners, which means that Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal could play essential parts. Conversely, Afghanistan has a strong group of spin bowlers led by Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman, who could make it hard for India’s top-order batters.
Meetings And Records From The Past
In eight T20Is, India and Afghanistan have played each other. India has a strong record, winning seven of the eight games. They had played each other before, and India won the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games because it was seeded higher. This year, India won an exciting Super Over match, and the final at the Asian Games was called off because of rain.
