ICC World Cup 2023 Group Stage: India vs Afghanistan- Match Preview, Odds, and Predictions, and Tips by Betadda

India and Afghanistan are slated to play each other in the World Cup 2023 on 11th October, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, from 2: 00 PM IST.

This will be the first match between the two countries in the group stage. In the previously contested World Cup 2019 in England and Wales, India emerged victorious, thanks to Mohammad Shami’s hat-trick, while Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan took two and one wickets respectively, for Afghanistan. Recently, India clinched a 2-1 victory in the T20I series against Afghanistan. Hence predictions favour India’s victory.

Pitch Report

Typically, the Kotla Stadium’s pitch tends to yield slow surfaces during ODI matches. Teams that bat second have shown slightly improved performance, benefiting from the compact boundaries and rapid outfield, which aid scoring during the second innings.

Players Face-Off

The upcoming contest between Virat Kohli of India and Rashid Khan of Afghanistan is sure to be an exciting one. Virat is a white-ball legend with 13,168 runs in 282 matches; Rashid, on the other hand, has made his mark amongst the greatest, with 172 wickets in just 95 matches.
