Only a miracle can help India to enter the final, and the road to the end stage is blurred for the Men in Blue. Having lost two of their three fixtures in the Super Four stage, one each against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, it has become very difficult for India to now qualify for the finals. There are a few scenarios that need to fall in place, but the probability of every possibility working out is also very far.

India will look to end their Asia Cup Super Four stage on a high note when they meet Afghanistan in their final game. Backed with two losses, it is going to be difficult for the Men in Blue but they will give their best to leave with their head high if that I what is meant to happen. On the other hand, Afghanistan will be playing India less than 24 hours after clashing against Pakistan, thus the fatigue factor would play a role.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been supportive of both batters and bowlers, as has been seen in the recent games. At the ongoing Asia Cup, the pitch has witnessed multiple nail-biting thrillers recently, and high-scoring ones. It will be a level playing field for both batters and bowlers, and a competitive game will be expected.

Playing Combinations for IND vs AFG

India

India lost two games in a row, and the skipper might look for making a couple of changes in the final game. Rishabh Pant has failed to impress this tournament, and with the team still looking for what Dinesh Karthik has to offer, the latter might replace the former in the side.

Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

Afghanistan

Afghanistan was in good touch throughout the group stage, just like India before losing their fixture in the Super Four. It will be the final game for Afghanistan as well, and they would also look to go forward with a strong combination to tackle a force like India.

Predicted Playing XI: Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi(c), Karim Janat, Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi
