Personally I don't think Afghanistan team can beat India. India is a very experienced team. Afghanistan is strong in this World Cup but not as experienced as India. It is very difficult to bat well against Indian bowlers.
Afghanistan's top order is performing very badly today. Despite batting well in previous matches, Afghanistan's top order batsmen Rahmanullah Gurbaaz, Hazratullah Zazai and Ibrahim Zadran did not bat well today. Afghanistan team lost three wickets to collect only 23 runs. After 5 overs, Afghanistan managed to collect 27 runs after losing 3 wickets. Bumrah picked up two wickets in 2 overs and Azar Patel picked up one wicket in 1 over and did not give any runs.
Your guess is going to be correct. Afghanistan team will be defeated today. I wouldn't be surprised if Afghanistan lose by a big margin. Afghanistan collected 91 runs in 14 overs. And Afghanistan took 5 wickets.
India's bowling attack is strong. If Afghanistan's experienced top-order batsmen got off to a good start, the match would have been competitive. Because Afghanistan's batsmen are capable of batting at a smart strike rate. It is now impossible for Afghanistan to win this match after poor batting from the top order. Afghanistan's batsmen need to score around 15 runs per over if they want to win.
Yes, you and everyone else is right on the fact that India will win today's match but we should also see the negative points that could be improved for the next matches that India will be playing.
Not well performance from the start by Shivam Dube, even not only in batting, he also disappointed us in fielding. But after too many tries, he got a chance again and again and it could be dangerous for the Indian team in the playoffs if they qualify because he is like a waste place in the playing 11.
After seeing his today’s match performance, I don’t think that he should have to play the next match against Bangladesh and Australia too. Hardik Pandya and Surya Kumar making a very good partnership and if they play like this then for sure the match could be hard for the all the teams that play against them.
