T20 WC: Who will win today's match between India and Afghanistan?
Team India will face Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan in their third encounter of the Super 12 round in the T20 World Cup 2021 edition, being held in the UAE. The Men in Blue will have to raise their game in order to keep themselves alive in the competition as another defeat will surely end their campaign in the marquee tournament.
The Virat Kohli-led side have been a pale shadow of themselves with back-to-back defeats in their two encounters so far. Kohli & Co. went down to their arch-rivals Pakistan by ten wickets in their tournament-opener whereas Kane Williamson-led New Zealand thrashed the one-time winners by eight wickets in their following match. On the other hand, Afghanistan have been a far-better side, having two wins from three encounters. They thrashed Namibia and Scotland whereas lost a close match to Pakistan. With them being serious contenders for the semi-finals, the Afghan side will also like to be on their toes with two big games coming up -- versus India and New Zealand, respectively.
