After the national anthem, the Afghanistan team has taken to the field to bowl with both field umpires while the opening batting burden for India will be on the shoulders of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Fazal Haque Farooqui is set to take the first over for Afghanistan…
…National Anthem continues…
(Playing 11) Afghanistan (Playing XI) – Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Rashid Khan (capt), Noor Ahmed, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqui .
(Playing 11) India (Playing XI) – Rohit Sharma (Captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (Wicket Keeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav.
Talking about the toss, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan said that we also wanted to bat first. He further said that in my opinion toss is not so important in T20. The kind of cricket you play and the attitude you play with is a big thing. We have been here for a long time so we understand the wicket and the conditions very well. A change has been made to the team. Hazratullah Zazai has been given a chance to replace Karim Janat.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who came to bowl after winning the toss, said that we want to bat first. Rohit further said that the pitch is looking good for batting, keeping in mind we have thought of putting a good score on the board. On his way out he said that we have made a change in our team.
Time for the toss – Rohit Sharma and Rashid Khan line up for the crucial toss on Barbados soil. Meanwhile, with much fanfare, the coin was tossed and India won the toss and elected to bat first.
Pitch Report – Irfan Pathan comes to talk about the pitch. He said it was a tough pitch. The side boundaries are 58 and 67 meters. As a bowler you want the batsman to look to hit. Ambati Rayudu joined him and said that the ball can come in with the wind when batting from one end. Irfan then said that India can think about batting first after winning the toss. If it is a day match then the fog will have no effect here.
Currently, the players of both the teams are seen warming up. There is not much delay in the toss and playing eleven…
However, the Afghanistan team has never beaten India so far, which they will look to reverse here. In this important match for Team India, apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya and Skye will have to score big runs with the bat while boom-boom Bumrah will depend a lot on the bowling. Captain Rohit can play an extra spinner on this Barbados wicket, in which case the toss will tell whether it will be Kuldeep or Chahal. On the other hand, I don’t see any change in the Afghan team. Rashid will expect a better performance from his big players for this great match. Rehmanullah Gurbaz, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran and Karim Janat will have to do well with their bats, while in bowling, a lot will depend on Fazalhaq Farooqui and the duo of Rashid and Noor. So now it remains to be seen which team starts this round with a win.
Hello and welcome friends, welcome to another great match of the Super-8 round of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with us!! Which will be played between India and Afghanistan in Barbados. On one side is Rohit Sharma and Co., who have not lost a match so far in this competition, while on the other side is Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan, who are entering here after losing their previous match against West Indies. . In such a situation, the morale of the Afghan team may have weakened somewhere but this team knows how to stand up after defeat. On the other hand, the Man in Blue can now be seen playing cricket more dangerously. Everyone will need veteran Virat Kohli to be in the same form that he showed in the Indian T20 League. In such a situation, Virat will be on one side and Rashid Khan on the other and the competition between them will be exciting.
4.6 overs (0 runs) The batsman thought it better to save the short-pitched ball lightly. Couldn’t get a run.
