IND vs AFG Preview
India: With India having already clinched the series, they are likely to use the opportunity to provide playing chances to other members of the squad, aiming to maximize the benefits of this three-match series. Even if they make several changes, the expectation remains that India will secure a victory.
Afghanistan: Despite having lost the series, Afghanistan showcased some positives in the second T20I. Gulbadin Naib’s aggressive approach yielded rewards, and there was a notable shift in the mindset of lower-order batters adopting a similar approach.

IND vs AFG Win Prediction
India exhibited a dominant batting performance in Indore, and they are likely to approach the final T20I in Bengaluru with the same aggressive mindset to unsettle Afghanistan’s bowlers. Expecting Afghanistan to adopt a similar strategy that brought them some success in Indore, it’s crucial to note that India’s batters are more accustomed to playing against top-quality bowlers in this manner. Additionally, India boasts a stronger fielding unit capable of capitalizing on any minor errors. Consequently, our prediction favors India to emerge victorious in the final T20I of the series against Afghanistan.
