IND vs AFG Win Prediction
Both teams will welcome the slightly warmer temperature in Indore compared to Mohali. However, we anticipate another one-sided contest. India, with their strengthened batting lineup, showed superiority in the opening game. With Virat Kohli returning to the side, we expect a similar performance. Afghanistan will need to elevate their fielding standards, but even with improvements, we predict a comfortable win for India.
Prediction: India to beat Afghanistan in 2nd T20
IND vs AFG Toss Prediction
In the three previous T20Is at this venue, two were won by the team batting first. Hence, it is anticipated that both sides will prefer to bat first in this game.
