Afghanistan vs India: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
India have not lost to Afghanistan in eight face-offs so far in T20Is. Will Afghanistan turn the tables this time around? Here are the best bets for this Afghanistan vs India match.
Afghanistan total runs Overs o to 10 – Over 64.5 10Cric @ 1.8, BET HERE
Afghanistan, batting first or second, are likely to score with a run-rate in excess of 6 and might even cross the 65-run mark.
India total fours – Over 13.5 – 1xBet @1.85, BET HERE
With the slow pitch likely to be on offer, team India batters are unlikely to go big and hit sixes. The likes of Kohli and Rohit among the other players might opt to find gaps and hit more fours.
India total runs in delivery 1 Over 1 – Under 0.5 Parimatch @1.63, BET HERE
With Fazalhaq Farooqi bowling extremely well, it is very much certain that Kohli or Rohit, whoever takes strike, will play the first ball of the match carefully and could be a dot.
Venue and Pitch Analysis
Not a single game has been played in Barbados in the morning in this T20 World Cup. The Scotland vs England clash at 10:30 AM local time was washed out earlier. But pitches have been decent in afternoon matches with Australia defending 201 runs against England.

Head-to-Head Record Afghanistan vs India
India have won seven out of eight T20Is against Afghanistan with one game ending in no result.
Afghanistan
Afghanistan are coming into the Super 8 round with three wins and a loss at the hands of the West Indies in their final game by 104 runs. But they won’t be deterred with that result and will be keen on stunning India like they did against New Zealand. Their spinners, led by Rashid Khan, will be key in order to restrict the star studded opposition players.
India
India have enjoyed decent rest with their final group game against Canada getting washed out. But they won three matches on the bounce against Ireland, Pakistan and USA. Their bowlers have been brilliant so far and the batters will have to take up the mantle with scores around 150 expected in the Caribbean now. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli who has scored only five runs so far in three innings.
