Team India are on a high after their convincing six-wicket win over Australia in the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on October 8, 2023. As highlighted by skipper Rohit Sharma, India will need to adapt to various conditions and that will be their toughest challenge of the league stage if they are to go on and win the World Cup.

After a slow and turning track welcomed them at the Chepauk, the Men In Blue are expected to face a belter at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, with the latest encounter being South Africa versus Sri Lanka, with the former scoring over 400 runs. For India, Shubman Gill is ruled out due to dengue with Ishan Kishan getting another opportunity to open the batting along with Rohit.
For Afghanistan, their batting did not click in their defeat against Bangladesh. They suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Shakib Al Hasan's men and would look for a massive upswing in form in Delhi against India. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rehman will be the threat against India. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is their only batter who is in form and could be the key player for the Afghans against India.
