June 20th marks the beginning of Group 1 proceedings in the Super 8 stages of the 2024 T20 World Cup, with Afghanistan (AFG) battling India (IND) at Barbados’ Kensington Oval on Thursday. However, even though each team has triumphed in three out of four recent games, they find themselves at disparate ends of their pools.
The cancellation of their last league game against Canada because of bad weather also helped India reach the summit of Group A. Afghanistan, on the other hand, finished second in Group C after the co-hosts, the West Indies, humiliatingly lost by 104 runs.
India has an impressive T20I record against Afghanistan, having won six of the eight matches between the two sides, with one match ending in a tie. On the other hand, their last encounter, the bilateral series’ last game, was an exciting show that required two Super Overs to finish.
This time around, Afghanistan is in fearsome form, so a hard and closely contested encounter is expected. The conditions are ideal for the Afghans because of their strong spinners and ability to perform well in high-stakes matches, which should make for an exciting duel.
IND vs AFG head-to-head record:
India and Afghanistan have played eight Twenty20 matches together. India has dominated these matches, taking home seven victories to Afghanistan’s zero. One game came to a close without a score. India has a psychological advantage because of this history, but Afghanistan is keen to flip the tables in their next T20 World Cup match. In this important encounter at the Kensington Oval, both teams will be eager to leave their mark.
