Thanks for the tag Madhu.
Wishing all the best to India.
Cheers..
India have persisted with Shivam Dube and he did a decent job against USA. But will he come good when pitted against the class of Rashid and co.? Or is there a case of Jaiswal at the top and Kohli going down to his usual number 3? There are so many questions which the management will answer in a few moments from now.
India's combination so far of three pacers and two spinners and a pace bowling all-rounder might well be rejigged. India might include Kuldeep Yadav at the expense of someone. Who will give way to him is a big question mark?! Afghanistan have played like a well oiled machine but came a cropper on a flat track against the Windies. So, in case it is another flat track, the Afghan bowlers will have to be smarter.

This will be India's first game in the West Indies in this edition. Their batters, like most, had a tough time in New York but came out undefeated. Rishabh Pant's cameo against Pakistan was arguably the most crucial contribution in the low-scoring game. Tough conditions also mitigate concerns around Kohli's lack of runs at the top, and Matthew Hayden expects Kohli to come good in familiar conditions.
Maddy: "Indis should consider themselves lucky. Two of their competing teams in Super 8 have a weak record against them. " Fair enough. By the way, this game would have been India vs New Zealand, had Afghanistan not outskilled them first up
Aakash: "Kuldeep for Dube or Siraj would be my change for todays game." I think Kuldeep over Jadeja, despite that weakening the batting order in theory. But I'd back the six hitter over Jadeja, who hasn't been going great recently.
Muhammad Amarkh: "if afghanistan brings 2 changes they got will chance of 50/50 winning against India. Zazai should open with Gurbaz, Ishaq should replace Karim Janat" Changes are unlikely but not bad calls.
