In an eye-catching Super 8 clash, India is set to take on Afghanistan at the ongoing T20 World Cup in Bridgetown, Barbados on Thursday, June 20. After passing the group stage phase unbeaten, Team India now set their eyes on the first match of Super 8 where they will hope to brush past the fearless Afghan team in a bid to strengthen their case of advancing to the semi-finals. 

Rohit Sharma & Co. enjoyed a flawless streak in the group stage, beating arch-rivals Pakistan, Ireland, USA, before their last group stage match against Canada getting washed away due to rain. On the other hand, the Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan team started their campaign with three consecutive wins, including the one against New Zealand, but lost to West Indies in their last group stage match. Both the teams will look to consolidate their place in the Super 8, which will ease their path towards booking a berth in the semis. 

Although Afghanistan is yet to beat India in a world tournament, the Men in Blue would be wise to keep in mind that the Afghans can beat any team on their day. This will be the first match where India will play in the Caribbean islands, as their group stage matches were held in the USA. Afghanistan, having played all their matches till now in the Caribbean islands, will look to capitalise on the known conditions and give India a run for their money. 

India should be wise to tread carefully in the first few overs, as Afghan left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi is in the form of his life. Taking 12 wickets in four matches with an economy of less than six, the young pacer will hope to get some early wickets to put pressure on India. Indian batters, especially Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, are yet to click in this tournament, which will make this contest even more exciting to watch.
