India will take on Afghanistan in the 44th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Thursday. India has been clinical with the ball but they are yet to find their Midas touch with the bat and they will look to be at their best in the Super 8 stage.
Afghanistan registered three comprehensive wins but suffered a huge loss of 104 runs against the West Indies in the last game, which would have given a blow to their confidence.
Meanwhile, the Barbados pitch is expected to be flat and thus one can expect a high-scoring game.
