Preview
In the Super 8 Group 1 match of the T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan will take on India at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The Afghan cricket team arrived at the Super 8 stage of the tournament after suffering a big loss against West Indies, but their overall group stage campaign was quite good. Meanwhile, India were unbeaten in the group stage of the T20 World Cup, but they will be needing to adjust their gameplay and strategies around playing in the Caribbean after spending three weeks in the USA.

Pitch Report
Analysis
Afghanistan opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have been quite fantastic with the bat in the T20 World Cup 2024, helping the team score above par totals on most occasions. The bowling attack of Afghanistan has seen quality performances from everyone, but the standouts have been Fazalhaq Farooqi and the captain Rashid Khan.
On the other side, t he Indian batting lineup is yet to play at its best in the T20 World Cup 2024 especially with a string of low scores for Virat Kohli, but the likes of the captain Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav have already made significant contributions with the bat. In the bowling side of things, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Hardik Pandya have been the pick of the bowlers in the tournament, and their spinners are expected to come into play more on comparatively friendlier pitches in the Caribbean to the USA.
