2nd T20I - India vs Afghanistan - Afghanistan Tour of India 2024 - Match Prediction & Updates

Can India continue the winning streak or Afghanistan will capture the battlefield this time? Let’s see how the 2nd T20I in the Afghanistan Tour of India 2024 unfolds.

Get ready to witness the Kohli action in the 2nd T20I, as India and Afghanistan push harder to fetch the victory. Virat Kohli missed the first T20I due to some personal reasons, but the batter is back in the upcoming match. India is leading the series and this is the chance for Afghanistan to level up the scores.

Pitch & Weather Report

It is the same venue, where Virender Sehwag scored massive (219) runs in 2011. The pitch favors the batsmen, thanks to its even bounce and short boundaries. We can expect higher runs on the scoreboard.

Weather conditions are favorable for the playing conditions, with zero chances of rain and dew. The pitch is expected to deliver the same conditions throughout the match.

Important Updates

Tilak Varma, Dube, Jitesh Sharma, and Rinku Singh stepped in to keep the match in the team’s hands. They could be taxed again on another fine batting surface in Indore, and how they respond to the task could determine India's World Cup XI.

Since Virat Kohli is playing in a one-down position, we can expect changes in the batting lineup. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who missed the first T20I due to a sore right groin, is expected to replace Shubman Gill at the top.
