IND vs AFG Pitch Report:
We might see a high-scoring encounter as the new ball is expected to come nicely onto the bat. The top-order batters will have the responsibility to score runs quickly as the spinners tend to get some grip in the middle-overs. The boundary size of the ground is not too big either which adds more misery for the bowlers. Teams chasing in the competition have won more matches. As a result, both sides might be looking to have a bowl first. The weather for the match also seems to be clear. As a result, the fans will get to see a full 20-over contest.
