India and Afghanistan will face off in the following match of the 3-match T20I series on the afternoon of Sunday in Indore. On a cold Thursday evening in Mohali, India took a 1-0 lead with a 6-wicket victory. Another home win in this game will decide the series before the final match. India never looked in trouble in the first game of the series. They will go to Indore expecting to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead. Virat Kohli’s return to the lineup will only strengthen their batting for the second match. Despite being comfortably beaten on Thursday, Afghanistan can take heart from some of the batting partnerships and Mujeeb’s spin bowling. However, to compete on Sunday, the entire team will have to step up a level or two.

Both teams will be relieved to see that the temperature will be slightly higher in Indore than in Mohali, but we anticipate another one-sided contest. India were much stronger with the bat in the opening game, and with Virat Kohli back in the lineup, we expect this to continue. Afghanistan will also need to improve their fielding performance, but we still expect India to win comfortably. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
