india vs afghanistan
The second match of the ongoing three-match T20 series between India and Afghanistan will be played on the evening of January 14. This match between the two teams will be held at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. The first match of this series was held on the ground of Mohali, which the Indian team easily won by 6 wickets. In that match, Shivam Dubey played an important role in the victory for Team India, while playing an unbeaten inning of 60 runs with the bat, he was also successful in taking 1 wicket with the ball. Now the Indian team will look to win the second match and take an unassailable lead in this series.
The pitch here is very suitable for batting.
If we talk about the pitch of the second T20 match of the series played at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, till now the batsmen have dominated here. High scoring matches have always been seen on this ground. In such a situation, it is not going to be an easy task for the bowlers to stop the pace of runs. However, the spinners may get some help from the pitch. Due to better bounce on the pitch, the ball can come onto the bat very easily, which will make it easier for the batsmen to play shots.
At the same time, the outfield here is also very fast, due to which the batsmen are seen playing big shots very easily in this stadium of Indore. In such a situation, even if the team batting first scores more than 200, it cannot be considered safe considering the pitch. The team winning the toss can decide to bowl first so that it can chase the target more easily when dew comes later. However, in the three T20 matches played here so far, the team batting first has won twice, while the team bowling first has won only once. Here the average score of the first innings is 209 runs.
See here the possible playing 11 of both the teams
India – Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shivam Dubey, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar.
