The first game was almost a comfortable win for India. India’s bowling in that game was something that paved the foundation for the victory. Afghanistan, on the other end, has given a quality fight, and they are most suited for Indian conditions, especially in this T20 format. This has eventually given us many expectations for the second game between India and Afghanistan.
The Indore wicket is expected to be a good bowling wicket. The average score on this wicket is 130.

Wicketkeepers: Gurbaz knows the Indian conditions really well. Since he got off to a good start in the first game, he is a safe bet for us.
Batters: With the new ball batting, we expect S. Gill to be the hero for this game. Zadran and T. Varma are our other batters.
All-rounders: Dube’s middle-over bowling and heroic batting are key for us. Omarzai is the fast-bowling all-rounder from the visiting team. M. Nabi and Axar Patel are our favourites with the ball.
Bowlers: The Indian pacers Arshdeep and Mukesh were extremely good with their speed variations in the last game. M. Rahman can’t be overlooked in these conditions.
