With the T20 World Cup 2024 just five months away, this will serve as the start of preparations for both the sides for the ICC event.

The Afghan players have ample experience of playing in India due to the IPL. They have also played the ODI World Cup 2023 in India in which they displayed their best ever performance in an ICC event by defeating the big players like England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Let’s take a look at T20I series prediction, key players, schedule and head to head record for Afghanistan tour of India 2024.

IND vs AFG 2024 Prediction

As mentioned above, this is the first ever white-ball series between India and Afghanistan. India and Afghanistan have faced each other 5 times in T20I format out of which India has the upper hand with 4 wins while 1 match ended in no-result.

The last T20I between India and Afghanistan was the final of the Asian Games Men’s T20 which took place in China. The match was abandoned due to rain but India won the tournament.

Indian team management has called back the experienced duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for this series, which signifies their inclusion in the plans leading towards the T20 World Cup 2024. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav will miss the series as both are recovering from their respective injuries.

On the other hand, Afghanistan team has called in Mujeeb-ur-Rahman who was recently in tussle with the cricket board of his nation. Rashid Khan has been named in the Afghanistan squad but clouds are still looming over his place in playing 11 as he is still recovering from the back surgery. Batsman Ibrahim Zadran has been appointed as the captain for this T20I series.

India vs Afghanistan 2024 T20 Series Prediction

India and Afghanistan have always produced exciting white-ball contests against each other. Afghanistan has never been able to win a T20I match against India but they have given a tough fight with their world-class spin attack consisting of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi and the young Noor Ahmad joining them.

This bowling attack can surely bring some problems to the Indian batting line-up which are not usually considered strong against the spinners. But the Indian squad also features some of the top T20 players like Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill along with the budding talents like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh.

With the inclusion of Rohit Sharma and Kohli, the Indian batting unit is surely beefed up and with this quality bowling line-up, India can try to restrict Afghanistan to lower totals.

It is difficult to beat India in a T20I series at their home. They have not lost any T20I series since 2019 and with such dominance it would be difficult for the Afghanistan team to beat them.
