Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- India is in poor form and under severe pressure after losing to Pakistan and New Zealand
- Afghanistan is a fantastic T20 team and nearly got the better of Pakistan. It has lost just one out of its previous 19 matches in the UAE.
- India’s team is out of form but it still has more depth than Afghanistan
IND vs AFG Analysis:
India has been the biggest disappointment in this T20 World Cup 2021 so far. The pre-tournament favorite has lost both of its matches and is all but knocked out of the race for a semi-final spot. Now, the team is going to be taking on Afghanistan, another dangerous team, as it tries to win at least something of note before returning home.
Afghanistan will not see this match as a dead rubber. It can beat India and New Zealand to qualify for the semi-final and we are sure that is going to be on its mind. The odds on Afghanistan are not too bad and keep in mind, it was within touching distance of a victory against Pakistan as well.
Match Details:
Date: November 03, 2021
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions in Abu Dhabi have been a bit slow and difficult for scoring runs. This could go against India and play into the hands of Afghanistan. We have seen scores of around 140 be difficult to chase in Abu Dhabi so far but that may change as teams try to play a more aggressive brand of cricket.
The ‘Total Runs in the Match’ betting market is pretty attractive if you bet under 300 runs to be scored. It is certainly worth considering here.
Team Preview:
India (IND):
The question on everyone’s lips is why is India losing? Is it tired after spending months on the road and in demanding bio-bubbles? Is it just a poor team that was beaten by better opponents? Has it just been unlucky with the tosses? We suspect it is a combination of all three factors and we could be looking at the end of a few careers.
With so much scrutiny and pressure, will India have the heart to play freely?
We think it is not going to have any option but to do so. The conditions in Abu Dhabi are going to be challenging and difficult to score off but India has to try and get as big a victory as it can to try and repair its net run rate. There were a few changes in the lineup during the previous match and we expect there to be a few more for this one also.
Varun Chakravarthy is unlikely to be in the playing eleven and we will see Rahul Chahar make his debut. We could also see Hardik Pandya being dropped for Ravi Ashwin to try and utilize whatever spin is on offer. India’s batting has been poor in both matches and its bowling has been the worst in the tournament.
The batting lineup is not set, players are batting out of position, and the team needs to take risks to even have a chance of qualifying.
India has a good chance of winning because it has a number of world-class players but the betting odds just do not make sense right now. We expect a more aggressive approach from India and that could potentially mean more boundaries being hit than Afghanistan in this match. Loof for the ‘Most Fours in the Match’ betting market.
Likely XI: Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy

Afghanistan (AFG):
Afghanistan is a dangerous team that absolutely crushed Scotland, came very close to beating Pakistan, and then crushed Namibia. It is going to come out swinging against India as well. The approach of Afghainstan in this T20 World Cup has been fearless. The team has been able to attack from the start and it does not stop even when it loses a few wickets.
The importance of actually scoring runs is a lot more than preserving wickets and that is something that it seems to have understood. Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are dangerous at the top while Mohammad Nabi is the biggest threat in the middle order.
A punt on Nabi for the Top Batsman Afghanistan betting market is something that we can get behind.
Afghanistan’s bowling attack is very dangerous. The thing is that Indian batsmen are quite familiar facing them as they play them in the IPL all the time. Still, having Nabi, Mujeeb, and Rashid in one lineup is something that has to be inf avor of Afghanistan.
If we were to pick a bowler to make the most impact then it would have to be Rashid Khan. He is at his best when the batsmen attack him and it looks like India may not have any other option at all.
Likely XI: Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Usman Ghani, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (c), Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Hamid Hassan, Naveen Ul Haq
