Table of Contents

India vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I Match Prediction: India already won the series after defeating the Afghanistan team on 14th January, and now they head to the last match of the series on 17th January, 2023.

Indian Cricket Team might give a chance to the player who has not played any matches in the last two games for India, and there is a huge chance that Sanju Samson will get the chance in place of Jitesh Sharma, who went out on a duck in the last match.

In the last match, Shivam Dube once again finished the match in style and also went not out for the second time, but the one concerning thing was in the match, Rohit Sharma form, who got out on duck two times in a row against Afghanistan weak bowling lineup. It is said that Rohit is still not mentally out of the World Cup loss, and even BCCI is looking for a replacement for Rohit Sharma if his form remains like this in future series.

Afghanistan is showing a good fight to the Indian team, but they need to put a collective performance if they want to defeat one of the best teams in the world. The middle order performed well in the last match, especially Gulbadin Naib, who scored 57 runs in just 35 balls. The bowling unit was still not able to make out the best after getting Rohit Sharma out on a duck in the first over of the match.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru pitch has been suited for the batter because of the flat wickets mostly used in the IPL and the small boundaries, which batters love because even when they mistime the shot, they get six. The situation has been different in the international T20 matches as the average score dipped to 154.85, and the highest score is 202/4, which India scored against England. The margin of error for the spin bowler is quite slim.

Team Preview Of India

India will be looking to sweep the series by 3-0, but they might make a few changes on the side as Kuldeep Yadav and Sanju Samson did not get any chance to play 11, which can happen in the 3rd match.

Important players for the India Team in the match against Afghanistan

1- Virat Kohli will once again be going to play in the next match, as he only scored 29 runs in the last match, but he will look to play longer innings, which he is known for in his lifetime. He has an average of 52.42 in the T20I after playing 116 matches, one of the best by any batter who played 100+ matches.

2- Shivam Dube has been in amazing form in the series, scored back-to-back half-centuries without getting out in both matches. He scored 123 runs in 2 matches with a strike rate of 170.83, which is amazing striking of the ball. He also took two wickets in five overs, which is handy bowling from his side, and it is good news for the Indian team.

3- Yashasvi Jaiswal will get another chance in the next match instead of Gill, as he scored 68 runs in the last match in just 34 balls. He has been on and off since his debut for the Indian team, but T20 is the format that suits him best.

Team Preview Of Afghanistan

Afghanistan team needs to play as a team because only a few players performed in the last two matches, which will not work against a team like India. The bowling unit needs to perform better as they are leaking a lot of runs because even in the last match, India chased the 173 total in 15.4 overs.

Important players for the Afghanistan Team in the match against India

1- Hazratullah Zazai might get the chance in the next match, and he has been one of the best-attacking batters for the Afghanistan team, who has not played in the last two matches. He has an average of 28.73 in 41 matches with a strike rate of 131.40.

2- Gulbadin Naib performed quite well in the last match against India, scoring 57 runs in just 35 balls, and it was the best innings of the match by the Afghanistan batter. He can also bowl a few overs if required, as he did in the past and took wickets against India.

3- Mohammad Nabi scored the most runs in the 2nd 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, but in the last match, he failed to give the same performance as he got out on just 14 runs and did not pick any wickets.
