IND v AFG 2023/24 India vs Afghanistan Match Preview: It's India past T20I sport before the World Cup, but the game is only in June and there's a entire Cricket to get out of the way second
Great picture: Final T20I essential and unimportant at the same time
Both Axar Patel and Washington Sundar have had excellent series playing, and while neither has already had a chance to bat, the presence of two spin-bowling allrounders at Nos has been instrumental. 7 and 8 enabled India's best attempt to bat with flexibility in the first two T20Is. The flat ball and small boundaries of Bengaluru may offer them another chance to pressure-test this blend during the T20 World Cup, and the conditions in the West Indies and perhaps the USA might allow them to do so.
Afghanistan's lack of batting firepower has often stopped them from turning their bowlers' good work into wins against top teams. Their hopes of breaking their Rahmanullah Gurbaz successfully in Mohali, he threatened to break free in Indore, where he rushed to 14 off eight balls before he mishit Ravi Bishnoi to mid-on. Afghanistan will hope Gurbaz can turn those signs of rhythm into a meaningful contribution.
Team media
With the line now in its possession, India may send one or more of Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, and Avesh Khan to Bengaluru.
India ( possible ): 1 Rohit Sharma ( capt ), 2 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shivam Dube, 5 Jitesh Sharma (wk ), 6 Rinku Singh, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Washington Sundar, 9 Arshdeep Singh, 10 Avesh Khan/Ravi Bishnoi/Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Mukesh Kumar.
Qais Ahmad was the leading batsman- keeper in Afghanistan's next set before this one, against UAE. If they feel the need for a legspinner, there is a possibility that he will have one in Bengaluru.
Afghanistan ( possible ): 1 Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk ), 2 Ibrahim Zadran ( capt ), 3 Gulbadin Naib, 4 Azmatullah Omarzai, 5 Mohammad Nabi, 6 Najibullah Zadran, 7 Karim Janat, 8 Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 9 Noor Ahmad/Qais Ahmad, 10 Naveen- ul- Haq, 11 Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Ball and problems
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is renowned for its manage- festivities, but there are times when the place belies that status. The most recent T20I below, a movie in December, was greatly influenced by the spinner, with Bishnoi and Axar combining to get 3 for 43 in their eight innings as India properly defended 160 against Australia.
The ODI World Cup, which featured five Bengaluru activities, came close to bringing that match to a close. More common Chinnaswamy problems can be anticipated as the groundstaff have had plenty of time to prepare a new angle for this sport since then. There was a good hint of clean on the ball on the day of the suit, though much of the vegetation cover is likely to be trimmed before the start of play.
The estimates promises a obvious, pleasant night with temperatures in the middle- 20s Celsius.

Mohammad Nabi is 67 runs away from becoming the Jonathan Trott on his expectations from the final T20I
