AFG vs IND Match Preview
India have dominated the series so far and will enter the final T20I with confidence. Their batters have handled Afghanistan's bowling attack effectively, while the Indian bowlers have also managed to put pressure on the opposition.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, have struggled to maintain momentum with the bat. Their top order has found it difficult to score quickly during the powerplay, while the middle order has failed to build long partnerships. In the second T20I, Afghanistan slipped from 51/1 to 100/6, which put India firmly in control.
India then completed the chase comfortably, reaching the target with seven wickets in hand and 31 balls remaining. Afghanistan will need a much-improved batting effort if they are to challenge the hosts in Delhi.
With the series already decided, India could also use the final match to test some squad combinations, while Afghanistan will aim to make the contest more competitive.
