Team India eye victory against Afghanistan in their final match of 2018 Asia Cup Super Four
Date and Time : 25th September 2018, 5:00 PM IST
Venue : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
India have already qualified for the final to be played on the 28th September courtesy of their big win against Pakistan on Sunday night. India were at their best against Pakistan especially batting wise in the game yesterday.
They will look to get another win on Tuesday night against a good Afghanistan side to have them in good stead for the final. Team India are unbeaten so far in the tournament, this should have the players in a positive frame of mind.
On the other hand, Afghanistan are out of the tournament and on Tuesday will be out their to play for pride against juggernauts India.
Afghanistan have been the surprise package so far in the tournament having knocked out Sri Lanka and making it to the Super Four’s. But know against India it will be a different test who defeated them in a Test match earlier this year.
Team news and possible line-ups
Afghanistan are unlikely to alter their playing XI from the previous match.
As for India, they too are likely to remain unchanged from their previous game against Pakistan.
Afghanistan XI : A. Afghan (C), Shahzad (WK), R. Shah, Janat, H. Shahidi, M. Nabi, Shenwari, R. Khan, M. Ur Rahman, A. Alam, Naib.
