IND vs AFG 33rd T20I ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Match Preview:
The 33rd match, Group 2 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2021, will be played between India and Afghanistan at the venue of Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The Men in Blue will not remember this tournament for a long time, as they are on the verge of getting knocked out from the Super 12 stage itself. The inaugural T20 World Cup champions didn’t bat as per expectations against the top quality bowling attacks of Pakistan and New Zealand, which handed them two massive defeats. They must win their remaining 3 matches to give themselves an outside chance of qualifying into the knockouts.
Afghanistan has already sent a strong message to the big guns, that they can beat any beat side on their day. They have got world-class bowlers in the likes of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Naveen-ul-Haq. They fought extremely hard against Pakistan, but the penultimate over of the match proved costly for them. With 2 wins and one loss, they are in the second spot in the Group 2 standings with 4 points.

Top Picks for IND vs AFG Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
IND
Lokesh Rahul was going well in the last game against New Zealand, until he got out for 18 runs. He needs to spend some time at the crease. We can expect big runs from his willow against Afghanistan.
Jasprit Bumrah’s 2 wickets against New Zealand was the only positive for India in this World Cup. He returned with the figures of 2/19 in his quota of 4 overs against the Kiwis.
Rishabh Pant is known for playing fancy shots in the shortest format of the game. He batted well for his 39 runs against Pakistan, but failed to keep the same form going against New Zealand as he was dismissed for just 12 runs.
