India needs to win all the 3 matches with good run rate

INDIA T20 WORLD CUP NEWS

Virat Kohli's India will take on an upbeat Afghanistan in their bid to stay alive in the T20 World Cup on Wednesday. India started the tournament as favourites but crashed to two losses in the Super 12 stage and now need to win their final three group games and depend on others to have any chance of making the semi-finals. Underdogs Afghanistan are second behind group leaders Pakistan in the table and another win would boost their hopes for a place in the final four.

Having not yet sealed a win in the ongoing T20 World Cup, India face Afghanistan in their upcoming Super 12 match at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. Virat Kohli's outfit began their campaign with a 10-wicket loss against Pakistan and then followed it up with an eight-wicket defeat against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Afghanistan have been in good form in the ongoing tournament and have won two of their last three fixtures. The Mohammad Nabi-led side began their campaign with a win against Scotland and then lost to Pakistan. They won their last fixture against Namibia, sealing a victory by 62 runs.

Against Afghanistan, India will be hoping to fix their batting issues and also their bowling problems. Kohli's side haven't been able to score runs and have also failed to take wickets, just like against Pakistan when they failed to register a single dismissal. On the other hand, Afghanistan will be relying a lot on their spinners and will be hoping to register a shocking win against India.
