India vs Afghanistan team news, when and where to watch, free live streaming details | ODI World Cup 2023

After beating Australia despite being 3 down for just 2, Team India sent out a loud message why they were the clear favourites to win ODI World Cup 2023.

The Men in Blue now face Afghanistan in their second game on Wednesday in Delhi.

Afghanistan has never beaten India in an ODI but with stakes so high, they cannot be taken lightly.

Bowlers stood out in the game vs Australia and Rohit Sharma is unlikely to change the winning combination. However, the pitch in Chennai heavily favoured the spinners and despite Delhi not being a rank turner, India is expected to once again go in will all 3 spinners.

In the absence of Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, who was out for 0 in the last game, will have another opportunity to prove his worth as an opener. Rohit and Shreyas Iyer, who were also out for a duck each would look to have some runs under belt ahead of the Pakistan game.

On the other hand, Afghanistan started its World Cup campaign with a 6-wicket loss against Bangladesh.

This will be a perfect opportunity for Team India to try and work on their net run rate as they are still not in the top 4 despite a win vs Australia.

The Afghans can take heart from the fact that India has lost 2 of its last 3 ODIs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
