Match Preview
The Men in Blue made it to the finale of the 19th Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou, the Republic of China. In the summit clash, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Co. will lock horns with Afghanistan, who are being led by Gulbadin Naib in the tournament. While India secured their final berth by defeating Bangladesh, Afghanistan came on the back of a win over Pakistan. After their gold in women’s cricket, the Indian men’s team will look forward to signing off with another gold in their maiden Asian Games.
Toss Prediction
Owing to their global T20 rankings, both India and Afghanistan were given direct entry to the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. If we have a look at the past records of both the teams, India and Afghanistan have faced each other on four different occasions. In those four matches, Afghanistan skippers came on top of the toss battles at maximum occasions.
The toss tally between both the sides reads 3-1 in favour of the Afghans. In the upcoming match, we think that the Indian captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will have luck on his side, and he will win the toss to take the readings 3-2.
Win Possibility
The neighbouring nations don’t have an elongated rivalry, as they have played only four T20I matches as of now. Though short, the two-time world champions, India thrashed their counterparts on all four occasions, making the tally look 4-0 in their favour. This clearly speaks for the dominance of India. Not only this, but if we consider the recent performances of the Indian team members, they have time and again displayed brilliant skills to bring laurels to India. With all of this in mind, we think India is more likely to win the gold medal.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The venue of the final Asian Games 2023 clash ZJUT Cricket Field has hosted somewhere around 20 T20 matches as of now. The average first-inning score of the venue is 118.6. With this number in consideration, we can expect the first-inning score of the upcoming game to be between115-135. On the other hand, the powerplay score is likely to hover around 40-45.
