India will face Afghanistan as they resume their quest for international glory at home. The Men in Blue headed into the tournament as the reigning Asia Cup champions after stomping Sri Lanka in the final. The Indian bowlers had a dominant showing in their opening game against Australia. Spinners proved to be a menace in Chepauk as Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin combined for six wickets in the game.
When batting, India lost early wickets of Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. A rescue act from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli saw the team pick up a comfortable victory by six wickets.
India and Afghanistan are scheduled to go head-to-head at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on October 11. Afghanistan had a poor start to their campaign as they lost their opener to Sri Lanka. Only Rahmanullah Gurbaz seemed to be in form as he smashed 47 runs. None of his teammates were able to contribute significantly to the Afghan side’s batting. This led to Afghanistan being dismissed for a score of 156. In the second innings, Bangladesh were able to close out the game by six wickets. Mehidy Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto had both scored half-centuries to secure the win for their nation.
