Irrespective of how things pan out in the final game for India, this is a shocking exit. Considering the hype and the quality in the Indian team, reaching the final should have been a minimum.
Even when India comes up against Afghanistan, it is not going to be an easy encounter. The Afghans are one of the upcoming sides, and have it in them to beat any team in the competition.
In fact, they gave Pakistan and Sri Lanka a jolly good fight in the recent Super 4 encounters. It would be catastrophic if India lose all their matches in the group stages. Afghanistan, like India, have lost both the matches and would be eager to end the season on a high.

On the contrary, it would be interesting to see how Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma would field their Playing XI. With the team just playing for pride, they might be looking at the possibility of trying out different team combinations.
It is important to note that India have not announced the T20 World Cup. This match could be a great opportunity to see if new combinations and experiments can be done with this Indian team. But they would love to have a balanced unit as a third loss in the Asia would invite harsh criticism.
All in all, it is a case of two teams, who would want to win their last match. Hence, it has the ingredients of a close encounter on Thursday.
