IND vs AFG Dream11 Team Prediction Cricket World Cup 2023

IND vs AFG Match Preview

India had a near perfect game against Australia in Chennai and they now will be looking to gain valuable two points against Afghanistan. The Men in Blue showed why they are considering hot favourites to win the tournament as they chased down the 200 run target on a tough wicket despite being reduced to 2-3. The win would have given India great confidence heading into the tournament.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan were rattled by Bangladesh in their first game. The team was bowled out for 156 and lost the game by six wickets. Afghanistan are being deemed as dark horse for the tournament and could surprise a few big teams. The conditions in Delhi will help their spinners so the match could be a close contest.

Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.

Pitch Report

Over 700 runs were scored when South Africa played Sri Lanka here. Once again, a high scoring game is expected. The outfield is fast and the boundaries are short. There will be some help with the new ball but that will not last long. Spinners will have to play a huge role as ball tends to keep low here.

Weather Report

The weather will be hot, with temperature will soaring to 35 degrees. The captain winning the toss would like to bat as bowling in the sun will take a toll on players.

Shubman Gill is likely to miss the second game as well due to dengue. India may also want to bring in Shardul Thakur in place of R Ashwin as three spinners on Delhi surface are not required. Afghanistan should play the same team.

IND vs AFG Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

IND vs AFG Dream11 Top Picks

Virat Kohli

There is no bigger match winner for India than Virat Kohli in ODIs and the GOAT once again proved the same after he bailed India out of trouble with a magnificent 85 run knock against Australia. At 2-3, India were in huge trouble but Kohli along with KL Rahul showed great composure and led India to a win.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul was also on song in the opening clash. Rahul played a 97 run knock and stitched a match-winning partnership with Kohli. Rahul played low risk cricket and did not give Aussie bowlers a sniff. Another good show will be expected from him.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja will be India's biggest wicket-taking option with the ball. Jadeja bowls quick and if there is turn on offer, he is nearly impossible to play. Jadeja will have a huge role to play in Delhi as well.

Rashid Khan

The conditions will be helpful for spinners and Afghanistan will rest their hopes on Rashid Kha. If Afghanistan have to upset India, Rashid Khan will have to deliver a match-winning performance.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is Afghanistan's most consistent batter. India have a strong bowling lineup and if there is any better who can help Afghanistan post big runs or chase down totals, it's Gurbaz.
