IND vs AFG Dream11 Prediction: Rohit Sharma-spearheaded Team India is set to face Rashid Khan’s Afghanistan in match 43 of the T20 World Cup 2024. The Super 8 fixture between India and Afghanistan is set to be held on June 20th, 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
IND vs AFG Match Preview
The real ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 begins today for Team India as they gear up to face Afghanistan in the Super 8 clash. Going by its reputation and stats, India remains to a prolific force that’s not easy to dominate. Ranked number 1 in the T20I rankings, it has proven its mettle over and over again for so many years.
However, the T20I competitions are meant to bring a sense of uncertainty over these stats and reputations. Often we see an upset in the T20I fixture where a big side faces domination of a low-ranked team.
Afghanistan are very well equipped to produce such upsets and disappointments. In fact, they produced one against New Zealand in the first round.
Once again the spin trio of Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed and Mohammad Nabi will be key for their plans to be executed against the heavy-weight Indian side in Kensington Oval. If they can manage to somehow restrict the Indian batters to a low score, then it will be a game where they can fancy themselves.
On the other hand, Team India are no rookies in adapting to the conditions. The team has the right balance of all sets of skillsets required to excel in a T20I fixture. The conditions in the USA demanded them to remain vigil while batting, it certainly obeyed that and now, in the Caribbean, if it demands to be a little flamboyant, it surely has the calibre to adapt to that as well.
India’s Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube will be particularly interested in facing the spinners in the Caribbean. The two batters fancy themselves against the spinners and both of them will be key for Team India’s plans in the tournament ahead.
Moreover, a step-up will also be required from Virat Kohli and Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who have predominantly remained quiet in the first round. Though Rohit has notched up a half-century, his run besides that innings has yielded pale results.

Kensington Oval Pitch Report, IND vs AFG
Unlike the previous venues where Team India played, the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown Barbados may provide a little favourable outing for the batters. There will be some help for the batters as they hope to break their shackles. Bowling, once again, will be key for the teams, especially the spin attack. IND vs AFG being a day game, the question of dew is out and the toss would have no impact as well. Australia produced the only 200+ score in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at this venue. So fans can expect a good high-scoring fixture between India and Afghanistan.
