IND vs AFG
India will face Afghanistan in their opening Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval in Barbados. India won the toss and elected to bat first; Afghanistan made an initial fast start thanks to Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi but Suryakumar Yadav’s 19-ball half century, featuring two sixes and a four, helped India recover.
India have won all previous T20I encounters against Afghanistan. However, Afghanistan have shown steady improvement and should provide a tough challenge.
Indian fans have expressed a hope that Virat Kohli can start off on the right foot and lead his team to victory. Additionally, they wish that previous mistakes won’t repeat themselves in this matchup.
India, having already conceded large totals against Ireland, Pakistan and USA during their three group stage matches, must regain their composure quickly to prevent another collapse. Meanwhile Afghanistan players are eager to play against world champions as they have just defeated Canada and can look forward to playing for pride against India.

Bumrah delivers again! His length ball targeting leg stump misfires when Zazai mishandles it while trying to move it towards on side; this results in a thick leading edge being hit towards backward point where Jadeja readily grabs it for his catch and Zazai departs after only scoring 2 from 4 balls.
India need an early breakthrough to kick-start their innings successfully. Rohit and Kohli have started well and they must keep the momentum alive.
Nabi strikes again! Nabi makes full use of his wide stance and delivers an emphatic six over long-off, beating Naveen’s dive before flying past him and into the stands for an impressive boundary.
