New Delhi: India will lock horns with Afghanistan in the 43rd match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Thursday. It is going to be the first Super 8 clash of the marquee event, associated with Group 1. Both teams gave stellar performances throughout their group stage to cruise to the next round of the ICC event.
India were off to a flying start after beating Ireland, Pakistan, and co-hosts USA in succession and had to face the wrath of rain gods as their final group stage game against Canada was washed out. They will surely be wary of the Afghanistan side who lost just one game (against West Indies) out of the four played. They notably won against heavyweights New Zealand and also beat Uganda and Papua New Guinea
