It’s an all-Asian clash in the 2019 World Cup as India and Afghanistan lock horns in what could be one-sided fixture.
Virat Kohli’s men arrive in tremendous form after defeating rivals Pakistan in a rain-hit game in Manchester last week. The 2011 champions are currently in fourth position but have played at-least one game fewer than any other team. A win on Saturday could push them close to what looks like an inevitable top-four finish.
Afghanistan can take some positives in the batting department from their defeat to England in the last fixture. But the tournament minnows – currently without a single point – know that their World Cup journey will surely come to an end if they lose against India.
India are yet to lose a game this World Cup and Afghanistan haven’t won any. Will we see a twist in the tale or will it be more of the same?
