Team News:

India:

There is nothing left for the Men in Blue as they lost both their games in the Super four and this game will be their last one of this season. In the absence of Jadeja, Bumrah has been deflected in the last two games where India failed to defend good totals. While in the last game skipper Rohit scored 72 but that's gone in vain. Bhuvneshwar Kumar leaked runs in the death over that causes them two games.

Questions were also raised on team selection as Hooda batted lower order and doesn't bowl. The news from the camp is that Avesh Khan is out of the tournament will illness and Deepak Chahar replaces him in the squad. However, Chahar is expected to play in place of Hooda in this game. Rohit Sharma and his men now will be looking to improve themselves in this game and will want to finish on a high. Nothing to lose from now onwards.

Afghanistan:

For Afghanistan, it's a must-win game for them in order to qualify for the finals. They have previously lost their first Super four game against Sri Lanka and now will face India and Pakistan respectively. They failed to defend a decent total in the last game as they need to improve their pace bowling.

The only positive thing to take from the previous game is the innings of Rahmatullah Gurbaz, who hammered 84 runs against SL and is in fine touch since the inception of the tournament. Will they be able to challenge and steal victory from India? Or India will be able to clinch their first win of the Super four.
