The penultimate game of the Super Four stage of the 2022 Asia Cup sees India and Afghanistan face off on Thursday evening at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The two teams have lost both of their Super Four games and neither can qualify for Sunday’s final. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins in Dubai at 18:00 local time.
India began the 2022 Asia Cup with wins over Pakistan and Hong Kong and they looked well set to go all the way. However, the Super Four has gone wrong for them but we expect them to end the tournament strongly.
Afghanistan got so close to beating Pakistan on Wednesday and it will be very hard for Mohammad Nabi to pick his players up ahead of this game.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports Network and DD Sports. In the UK you can watch the game on UTsav Gold HD.
Asia Cup Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
With both teams out of the running for progressing in the tournament, there will be a temptation to go against the grain and bat first. However, we expect the captains to elect to field first if they win the toss.
We have seen 12 wickets on this pitch in the last two games and combined scores of 363 and 347. There will be turn for the spinners as well as pace for the quick bowlers on this surface.
Cloudless skies throughout this Super Four match in Dubai. The temperature will be no lower than 24 degrees from start to finish.

There are no new injuries in the India squad but we could well see some changes to the batting order with the 2022 Asia Cup trophy out of reach. Experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin came in for Ravi Bishnoi ahead of the defeat against Sri Lanka but we expect Ashwin to retain his place in the team.
India have not played poor cricket in their last two games but must win this match to avoid their third successive defeat in the format.

KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), Deepak Hooda, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
After conceding 12 runs from the opening two balls of the final over to lose the game against Pakistan on Wednesday, Fazalhaq Farooqi will need his confidence rebuilt ahead of this match. Afghanistan came so close to winning Match 10 and we expect the same group to be selected.
Afghanistan began the competition with dominant performances but have not managed to get over the winning line in their last two matches.
Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanulluah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (c), Rashid Khan, Karim Janat, Azmatullah Omarzai, Fareed Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi
This will be the fourth IT20 between India and Afghanistan with India winning all three matches so far. Afghanistan have avoided defeat against India on one occasion, during a tied ODI in the 2018 Asia Cup.

In spite of both teams losing their last two games in the 2022 Asia Cup, India are strong favourites to end their competition with a win over Afghanistan in this game.

Afghanistan produced some fantastic cricket over the final overs to get themselves in a strong position against Pakistan but then two full tosses cost them the match. If they can eliminate these crucial errors then they can cause India some problems.
We are backing KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with the bat for India. Rahul has shown glimpses of form in the tournament but needs a big score to get some of the detractors off his back.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran and Ibrahim Zadran are our batting picks for Afghanistan. Najibullah Zadran won the group stage game against Bangladesh with a brilliant knock of 43 not out from 17 balls.
Our bowling selections are Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh for India. Singh has had an up and down competition but has proved that he is still a fantastic bowler at the end of an innings.
Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi are our bowling choices for Afghanistan. Farooqi took 3-31 against Pakistan and picked up the wicket of Babar Azam with the second delivery of the innings.
There will be a lack of real excitement before this game, with both teams disappointed that they can not progress to the final. However, we expect the match to deliver plenty of entertainment once it gets underway. We predict that Afghanistan will cause India problems at times but are backing India to win.
