Match Preview
India and Afghanistan are set to clash against each other in the climax of the ongoing T20I series on January 17, Wednesday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The hosts registered 6-wicket wins over their counterparts in the first two encounters, and as they are slated to go head-to-head for the final time, Team India would aim for a whitewash. On the other hand, the Afghans have never won any match against India and in the forthcoming game, the Ibrahim Zadran-led side would hope to change the records and finish the series on a high.

Toss Prediction
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss in both matches and hence, lead the toss tally by 2-0 over Ibrahim Zadran. Needless to say, playing the series in India has proven to be lucky for Sharma, unlike the previous multi-format series against South Africa, where India didn’t win even a single toss. Considering the statistics, we think luck would once again back the home favourites, and India would win the toss.
Win Possibility
After a brilliant show in the series opener at the IS Bindra Stadium, the Men in Blue continued their momentum and secured another stellar 6-wicket win in Indore. Shivam Dube once again rose to the occasion and scored 63* off 32, while Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed smashed 68 off 34 balls to help the side chase down the target with 26 balls to spare. The two sides will clash for the first time in the T20I format at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where the hosts hold a 3-3 win-loss record.
Considering the form of their players and overall records, we believe Rohit Sharma and Co. will secure another win to win the series 3-0.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium of Bengaluru has hosted a total of seven T20I matches. The average first-inning score of the ground is 141. Considering this, we expect the first-inning score to hover around 140-150 in the third T20I game. The powerplay score of this match is likely to be around 45-50 as India host the Ibrahim Zadran-led side in the final encounter of the 3-match series.
