India vs Afghanistan T20 Matches

India and Afghanistan will face off in their inaugural Super 8 match at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. India won three out of their four Group A matches while Afghanistan placed second in Group C with one win and one washout (against Canada).

Rohit Sharma will look to build upon their success against Bangladesh when they take on Ibrahim Zadran-led team of Iran. India won by six wickets at Indore’s Holkar Cricket Stadium thanks to the bowling efforts of Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma, and Tilak Varma among others.

Afghanistan will look to return to form after losses against New Zealand and West Indies, respectively, in their two previous games. They are known for turning tournaments around and they will want to show that they can compete with the best players in this tournament.

Both teams will field their strongest squads as they look to build on their successful performances thus far in the tournament. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav could earn himself a place in India’s playing XI while pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj could make changes after some rest. For Afghanistan’s team, mainstays Karim Janat, Mohammad Nabi, and Rashid Khan will likely feature prominently.

Afghanistan vs India Test Matches

India and Afghanistan will clash in their inaugural Test match at Bengaluru on Thursday. Afghanistan are eager to make an impression during their inaugural appearance in a Test match format and aim to perform at their best against India in their debut appearance in this format. JioCinema and Sports 18 in India will provide live coverage of this contest.

This match should be an exciting affair, with both teams boasting some of the world’s premier players. Unfortunately, neither side is likely to come out victorious; both have produced some memorable matches over recent months and fans hope this match will follow suit.

Cricket has become a national passion in Afghanistan and its popularity has skyrocketed over time thanks to the tireless work done by local players and coaches who promote its popularity. Afghanistan’s success in cricket is particularly remarkable given the country’s history of war and terrorism.

Afghanistan has experienced significant progress during the past two decades, rising from being among the lowest-ranked nations worldwide to competing at the highest level of international cricket. This success comes despite war, terrorism and economic hardship; cricket was first introduced into refugee camps near Pakistan’s border where passion quickly developed; ultimately leading to formation of its national team in 1995.

This year will be an active one for Ireland’s cricket team, who will face two T20 Internationals against India before playing five Test matches against them in January 2024 and travelling on to Zimbabwe for multi-format tours consisting of two ODIs and three T20Is in March/April.

Afghanistan’s batsmen will need to put in extra work if they hope to give India a run for its money. After failing to score on Monday against Australia in the T20 IPL 2018, their top order struggled and middle and lower order batsmen must now step up with impressive performances to have any chance at making an impactful statement against India. Meanwhile spinners must also perform at their peak if they hope to keep India batsmen under control.

Afghanistan vs India ODI Matches

India and Afghanistan rivalry is one of the most exciting and captivating contests in cricket, even though India holds an overwhelming advantage when it comes to head-to-head records. Afghanistan has shown their growing skill set and fighting spirit has only made this contest more exciting as time progresses; tradition meets ambition, and this rivalry will only become more intense over time.

India initially won their initial match against Afghanistan during the Asia Cup 2014 with relative ease; but this proved prophetic as Afghanistan has since seen tremendous gains with world-class players like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Mohammed Shahzad coming together on one side and India on the other. Their intense rivalry has held fans across the world riveted throughout each match; with spectators never knowing what is around the corner from them!

India defeated Afghanistan in a thrilling match that saw both teams come back from behind at times. Rohit Sharma led his side to victory through a masterful batting display while Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah’s bowlers held strong until the very end.

Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and elected to bat first on what appeared like an ideal batting pitch, with Azmatullah Omarzai joining him in a 121-run partnership that helped set them on their way. Unfortunately, however, subsequent innings collapsed quickly before short spells from Bumrah allowed India to gain control.

India were off to a slow start during their reply, losing three wickets within 10 overs due to poor batting from South Africa and lack of runs from their top order. But Kharote struck again, dismissing Faf du Plessis and Imran Tahir quickly with one ball from Kharote, to finish SA off for only 199 runs all out – giving India renewed hope of reaching the semifinals and looking forward to facing South Africa next in this tournament.

Afghanistan vs India T20I Matches

India will launch their Super 8 campaign at the 2024 T20 World Cup against Afghanistan at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Thursday. India won Group A with seven points from four matches including three victories and a wash-out against Canada, earning themselves top billing.

Since their first meeting in Grost Islet in 2010, these two sides have met eight times in T20Is, and India lead by seven-0 with five wins and one draw. Most recently, India defeated Afghanistan by three runs at the 2017 Asia Cup.

India fell behind early after losing both openers, reaching 96-3 by the 11th over. But Rohit Sharma and Axar Patel worked their magic with an outstanding partnership of 135 runs; both batters hit half-centuries as their scores eventually increased to 231 in the 18th over; with Rohit slamming a wide full toss to the boundary as soon as delivery three came along before driving another slower delivery over mid wicket to score four fours off Naveen-ul-Haq’s bowlers.

Axar hit a single through the covers before driving the fifth delivery from Ghazanfar to long off for another run. Abhishek then clipped Ghazanfar’s sixth delivery, clipped it mid wicket for another, clipped Ghazanfar again for one run then guided Kuldeep’s fifth over over third man for yet another run as India moved within 10 runs of victory.

Spinners have played an instrumental role for Afghanistan in their two opening games, with Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh taking seven wickets between them. Now with their game shifting to the Caribbean, Kuldeep Yadav could prove crucial; though Afghanistan boasts a powerful spin attack comprising Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, Noor Ahmad as well as powerful batsmen such as Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Gulbadin Naib.
