T20 World Cup 2024: The stage is set and India are ready to take on their first opponents of the Super 8 - Afghanistan. Captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid would be happy with the results they got in the group stage, but now all the tension is drawn towards the tournament's second stage. With oppositions like Australia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh in their group, India will surely not look to give any of these teams any easy pickings especially in this format of the game.
Afghanistan have never secured a victory against India, but they are advancing to the Super 8 following a significant loss to the West Indies. Despite this, India is well aware that Rashid Khan's team has the potential to defeat any opponent on their day. Afghanistan played all of their group stage matches in the Caribbean, whereas India will be arriving on the islands for the first time after competing in the USA. India played three matches on a New York pitch that strongly favored pace bowlers. Their final group-stage game against Canada, scheduled to be played in Florida, was abandoned due to rain.
