India vs Afghanistan 2nd T20I Match Preview: After winning the first T20I match against Afghanistan, India will look to seal the series in the 2nd T20I at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore, and the match will start at 7 00 PM IST.

Indian Cricket Team gave a strong performance against the rising Afghanistan team in the last T20I match and won the match quite comfortably due to an amazing all-round performance by Shivam Dube. The Indian bowlers struggled to get the opening batters of Afghanistan out cheaply as the opening partnership stands for 50 runs, but then Axar took Gurbaz’s wicket, and Shivam Dube took Ibrahim Zadran’s wicket. While batting second, India started not good as Rohit Sharma got run out on a duck, then Shubman Gill got out on 23 runs. Shivam Dube’s 60-run innings gave India a comfortable win and won the Player of the Match Award.

The Afghanistan cricket team started off well but then lost a couple of wickets quite easily. However, Mohammad Nabi rescued the team and took it to 158 runs total. Mujeeb did take two wickets, but other bowlers were not able to trouble the Indian batters, which is why they won the match comfortably. They will look up for the next match against them at the Holkar Cricket Stadium.

Holkar Stadium pitch has been a favorite for the batters as the highest score here is 260 in 20 overs, which was scored by the India team against Sri Lanka in 2017. It is a pacey pitch with an even bounce that helps batters play their shots well, and the dimension of the stadium is also small, which makes spinners’ lives harder.

Team Preview Of India

India has been amazing in the bilateral series worldwide, winning in every country, but the final result, which is winning the titles, is something they are lacking. In the last match, the team did a bit of experimentation and gave Shivam Dube a chance at the 2nd down and Tilak Varma at first down, but in the next match, Virat Kohli might come into the team to take his first down spot, which might force the Indian captain Rohit Sharma to make some changes.

Important players for the India Team in the match against Afghanistan

1- Virat Kohli scored his most awaited century against Afghanistan when India played in the World Cup. However, he is a man in form, and since last year, scoring in every format, it will not be easy for him to play T20I again. He has a 52.73 average in T20 matches and 173 against Afghanistan, as he was out against just once.

2- Shivam Dube played the best inning of his life for the Indian team in the last match, scoring 60 runs and picking up one wicket. He looked confident with his bowling, which was great for the Indian side because they need an all-rounder right now.

3- Rohit Sharma will be eager to go into the next match because in the last match, he got run out on zero, and he does have a great past in Holkar stadium, scoring 118 runs.

Team Preview Of Afghanistan

Afghanistan performed well in the last match but could not stand out against the mighty Indian team. Still, it was a good performance, and they are going to give it all in the next match, but they need to provide a good effort as a team. Rahmat Shah, who was 30 years old, became the first debutant for Afghanistan.

Important players for the Afghanistan Team in the match against India

1- Ibrahim Zadran will look to carry a good start into good innings, which he failed in the last match after scoring 25 runs, but it was seen that he does have the technique to have a longer inning.

2- Mohammad Nabi scored the most runs in the last match, 42 in just 27 balls, which shows his experience and ability to hit. He has an average of 22.57 and also took 88 wickets in 113 matches.

3- Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be another player who can score a century or get out on zero, which is why he is known for his hitting ability. He did not have a good average against India in 2 T20Is, but he is a much-improved player. In the last match, he did start off well but needed to be consistent with his scoring.
