Men
in Blue are ready to lock horns against Afghanistan today for Super Four, Match
5 clash at Asia Cup 2018, which is taking place in Dubai. India is looking
forward to extend their winning position in the tournament as they are
unstoppable in Asia Cup. On the flip side, Afghanistan is also running on its
aggressive form and showing significant growth in this game, even though they
couldn’t reach their victory line in important matches.
Team
India has no stress at all because they have already qualified for finals and
will want to do some experiments against Afghanistan. Shikhar Dhawan has been
in great rush in the tournament and he will be required more in the final for
India. So, he might get some rest as he has played over the entire England
tour. So, some more changes are expected from India’s side as they may want to
experiment and test their middle order more against the Afghans. Manish Pandey
has been warming the seat on the bench in the whole tournament. So, he might be
the part of possible XI instead of Dinesh Karthik.
On
the bowling side, Khaleel Ahmed is more likely to be playing in place of fast
bowler Bhuvneshwar or Jasprit Bumrah. As Asia Cup’s schedule is tight and tough
for bowlers, they don’t get enough rest. However, Afghanistan has always been
impressive with their pace and they gave tough competition to the teams which
are well established like Pakistan and Bangladesh. They have also defeated Sri
Lanka in group stage. Afghanistan might stick to playing XI versus India on
Tuesday.
What
to Expect?
India
is the hottest favorite to win the tie and is more likely to enter the final as
they are completely invincible. It is high time for team India to experiment
and test their middle order in batting lineup against the spin bowling attack. India
to have belief in them and to hold their nerves in the important stage of game,
which is the only thing Afghanistan needs.
