India vs Afghanistan Live Score, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023:
Afghanistan’s pitching has been a joke in the first 10 overs thanks to Rohit Sharma. It took the Indian leader only 30 balls to get to 50, which tied a record and broke another. Along with Chris Gayle, he tied David Warner for the fastest time to 1000 runs in a World Cup game. He then beat Gayle’s record for the most sixes ever in international cricket. India is off to a great start in their chase for 273.

In the beginning, Afghanistan fought back from being down 63/4 to score 272/8. The best score Jasprit Bumrah ever got in a World Cup game was 4/39. Two wickets were taken by Hardik Pandya. One of them ended a 121-run stand between Hashamtullah Shahidi, the captain of Afghanistan, and Azmatullah Omarzai. It’s strange that Mohammed Siraj didn’t have a very good day at work. He returned without taking a wicket and gave up 76 runs in nine overs.
That work that Shahidi and Omarzai did together was very important for Afghanistan. Before being bowled out by Pandya, Omarzai got 62 runs in 69 balls. Kuldeep Yadav got rid of Shahidi after he scored 80 runs in 88 balls.
Shahidi won the toss and chose to bat against India at the New Delhi Arun Jaitley Stadium. He said that he would have decided to bowl even if he hadn’t won the toss. India made one change to the team that beat Australia in the first game of the event. Thakur came in for Ravichandran Ashwin.
So far, eight games have been played in this World Cup, but none of them have had a really exciting ending. The match between India and Afghanistan on Wednesday could follow this trend, with India being the clear favorite. Yet, Afghanistan has a history of shocking teams in major events, and Rohit Sharma would be wary of their threat, especially their spin bowlers.
Conditions in Kotla are not likely to be like those in Chennai. In fact, the last time an ODI was played here, South Africa beat Sri Lanka’s spin-heavy attack to score 428, which is the best World Cup score ever. Afghanistan has a similar bowling attack. Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi are all good spin bowlers, but it’s unclear whether this will help on a wicket that is good for hitting, like Delhi. In an ideal world, India would win the toss, bat first, and give the other team a batting clinic. But when has perfection ever won a cricket match? That being said, Afghanistan has never been interested in big tournaments. However, they did win an ODI series in Bangladesh, which India had failed to do on their last two trips.
