IND vs AFG 1st T20 Match Pitch Report
The pitch of R Premadasa Stadium is favorable for both batsmen and bowlers because this pitch has equal pace and bounce due to which batsmen can play the ball easily and fast bowlers get good help at the beginning of the match.
What to expect:
Team news:
India: Rohit is set to join Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the order. And with Kohli unavailable in Mohali, Shubman Gill will take the No.3 spot. Samson might take the gloves after his century show in South Africa.
India Key Players
- Rohit Sharma – After defeat in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Final, the 36-year-old opener will be keen to secure his place in the side with the goal of leading his country to success later this year.
- Rinku Singh – Rinku Singh has been getting a lot of attention lately for his brilliant batting style. He is playing the role of finisher quite well. In just 12 T20Is, Rinku Singh has smashed 262 runs at a strike rate of 180.68.
- Kuldeep Yadav – The 29-year-old left-arm wrist spinner has taken 58 wickets in T20Is and comes into the match with a strike-rate of 12.4.
- Arshdeep Singh – The left-arm medium-fast bowler comes into this series with plenty of confidence after performing very well during the white ball series in South Africa last month.
Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Yadav/Ravi Bishnoi, Mukesh Kumar
India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson(w), Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Jitesh Sharma, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi
Afghanistan: Rashid’s absence greatly impacts the team balance but Mujeeb’s inclusion for the India series, after his recent run-in with the ACB, nearly confirms his return to the XI especially given his IPL experience as well. Noor Ahmad too could get the nod.
Afghanistan Key Players
- Ibrahim Zadran – The skipper has hit three half-centuries in T20Is and has an excellent ODI record for his country. He scored 59 in the first T20I against the UAE.
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz – The 22-year-old right-handed keeper-batter finished 2023 in very strong form for both his country and in the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament.
- Naveen-ul-Haq – The right-arm medium-fast bowler took wickets with his first two balls in his last T20I before ending the game with figures of 4/20.
- Qais Ahmad – The 23-year-old leg-spinner will be the head spinner for Afghanistan in this match and he took six wickets across the three matches against the UAE last month.
Probable XI: Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran (C), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Qais Ahmad, Noor Ahmad/Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi

IND vs AFG 1st T20 Match Prediction
Both teams come into this match with strong T20I form but Afghanistan will know when they arrive that beating India in any format at home is a very tough assignment. Afghanistan do have an opportunity to target India’s pace attack which is without some of their biggest names but the rest of India’s team is very nearly at full strength. Our prediction is for India to win this game.
We expect India to win this match.
