Asia Cup: Already in finals, India aim to extend winning streak against Afghanistan
Indian cricket
Having already sealed their place in the 2018 Asia Cup final, defending champions India will look to continue their winning streak when they face Afghanistan on Tuesday.
The Rohit-Sharma side recently registered a 9-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan to confirm their place in the finals.
On Sunday, Indian openers Rohit Sharma, also the captain, and Shikhar Dhawan slammed a century eachto achieve Pakistan's below-par target of 237.
The duo played brilliantly to stitch together a 210-run stand, with Dhawan departing after contributing 114 runs.
India had earlier defeated Bangladesh in their first Super 4 match, to remain as the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far.
India will be aiming to continue their dominance over the Asian newbies, who have managed to give a tough fight in their narrow defeats to the likes of Pakistan and Bangladesh in their Super Four clashes.
While Pakistan managed to win a last-over thriller over the Afghans by 3 wickets, Bangladesh on Sunday pipped Afghanistan by 3 runs to set up a virtual semi-final with Pakistan on Wednesday.
The game is also a chance for India to rest a few players and give the opportunity to other young talents.
