IND vs AFG Dream11 Prediction: India and Afghanistan will begin their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 campaign in a mega encounter in Bridgetown, Barbados on Thursday, June 20. Both teams registered three big wins in their first-round fixtures and are expected to produce a thrilling encounter at Kensington Oval.
Rohit Sharma's men registered three impressive wins in their first three league-stage matches and witnessed a last game against Canada being washed out due to rain. Openers Virat Kohli and Rohit's form worries fans but the management is expected to field the same starting eleven against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan secured the Super 8 qualification without any troubles but suffered an embarrassing 104-run defeat against West Indies in their last match. A big loss would have certainly damaged their memorable ahead of a crucial clash against India. Afghanistan remain without a win in eight T20Is played against India but famously tied the total while chasing a 213-run target in Bengaluru earlier this year.
