Meanwhile, the ball is expected to swing well in the initial overs. In such a situation, the Indian team can field an additional spinner in today's match. If this happens, Mohammad Siraj can be dropped and Kuldeep Yadav can be included. Suryakumar Yadav, who scored a half-century against America, Shivam Dubey, who scored 31 runs off 35 balls, and Rishabh Pant, who scored 36 and 42 runs respectively in the first two matches, are likely to contribute once again.

At the same time, Virat Kohli's focus may be on returning to the top order. In the league round, he scored a combined 5 runs in all 3 matches. Rohit Sharma can also try to perform consistently well. Hardik Pandya, who is consistently performing well with the ball, is currently at a stage where he needs to focus on batting. In bowling, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are in good form. Along with them, all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel can also strengthen the team.

The Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan team defeated Uganda, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea in the league round and qualified for the Super 8 round. Meanwhile, they suffered a 104-run defeat in the last league match against the mighty West Indies. After restricting the opposition to 100 runs in the first three matches, Afghanistan struggled in bowling against West Indies.

Rashid Khan, Naveen Ul Haq and Asmadullah Umarzai contributed more than 40 runs. Left-arm fast bowler Basalhaq Farooqi also bowled 3 overs and conceded 38 runs. Only Noor Ahmed and Khulbuddin Naib conceded fewer runs.

In such a situation, the Afghanistan team can change its bowling plan in today's match. In terms of batting, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Sadaran and Gulbadin Naib are included in the top order. Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Hasmadullah Umar Zai are also performing brilliantly in batting.
