India vs Afghanistan (IND vs AFG) Match Preview
The Indian team has been in excellent form in white-ball cricket recently and has maintained its dominance over Afghanistan. They comfortably chased down the target in the rain-affected match in Dharamsala and posted their highest-ever ODI score in the Lucknow game. Now, they will aim to wrap up the series with a resounding 3-0 victory.
The Afghanistan team has struggled to put up a cohesive performance. Although Rahmanullah Gurbaz's century grabbed headlines in the first match and Nangeyalia Kharote's impressive four-wicket haul put India under pressure, Afghanistan failed to get the necessary support from other players. They will now look to put up a better showing.
