IND vs AFG Weather report from Delhi - Check latest updates ahead of World Cup 2023 India-Afghanistan match

IND vs AFG weather report: India and Afghanistan are all set to clash in the 9th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The match will take place at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi on Wednesday (Oct 11). The match starts at 2:00 pm IST.

This is the second match to be hosted at the Arun Jaitley stadium. This match is a big opportunity for both teams. The Men in Blue will be led by Rohit Sharma who after scoring a duck against Australia in the previous match should probably bat with an aggressive intent. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan should also make the most of the chances. This is India's big chance to boost their NRR.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan lost to Bangladesh in their first game. Their campaign gets tougher from here, though they have their bowling as an asset.
