Preview for IND vs AFG Dream11 Contest:

Having lost both their opening games, India are in a pretty dire state, wherein they have to win all their games and expect a grandstand favor from Afghanistan, their opponents for tomorrow. As they say, the job in hand must be done first, and they need as big a win as possible against all the three remaining opponents – Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia.

Virat Kohli cited that they weren’t as fearless as the Kiwis, which shouldn’t be the case going forward if their aspirations of qualifying to the semifinals remain alive. Time has come for the side to deliver a big knockout punch, and their quest to achieve the impossible begins tomorrow in Abu Dhabi.

Probable Playing XI

India: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (C), Rishabh Pant(wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy

Afghanistan: Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad(wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (C), Karim Janat, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Hamid Hassan

Weather Update:

Humidity will be a tad higher than usual in the middle east, with it rising to 66% during match time. Temperatures are set to be between 31-33 degrees during match time, which shouldn’t be a massive problem for both sides.

Pitch Report

A pretty similar track to that of Dubai, which gets better for batting in the second innings. Only one team has managed to win a game while defending a total on this ground, and the team doing it was Afghanistan themselves against Namibia. With India needing a big win, it might not come as a surprise if they bat first as well.

IND vs AFG Dream11 Prediction

There are massive expectations from the side to do well tomorrow, but Afghanistan will come strongly at them too. They rely on their bowling heavily, so picking a couple of them in the lineup should be fruitful to your fantasy unit. Among the Afghan batters, keep an eye on the openers, who could give you some rewards. The usual suspects in India haven’t done a massive job as yet, but they can be trusted with multiplier roles once again.

IND vs AFG Dream11 Captaincy Picks

Rohit Sharma: These are the kind of games Rohit Sharma comes alive, and once he gets going, he only delivers big knocks. He can be trusted with the captaincy in small leagues despite not getting a start in the last two games.

Jasprit Bumrah: In the mega leagues, you could take a chance with a bowler as captain, and who better than one of the best in the world, in Jasprit Bumrah. He picked up 2 wickets in a lost cause, and bowled beautifully for most parts.

Rashid Khan: He has remained unplayable this edition, and his exploits with the ball are continual and effective. He has 7 wickets in 3 games at an average of just 7, and is a prime contender for vice-captaincy.

IND vs AFG Dream11 Budget Picks

Mohammed Shami: His dip in form makes him available at just 8.5 credits, making him a pretty valuable stock to jump on. Mohammed Shami is always capable of picking wickets, and could provide you with some big points tomorrow.

Najibullah Zadran: One of their most attacking batters, Najibullah Zadran must get going if Afghanistan were to give a fight to the Indians. He costs just 8.5 credits and is worth your investment.

Hardik Pandya: He hasn’t bowled yet, but he is being deemed as the finisher in this team. At 8.5 credits, Pandya makes for a worthy inclusion in your fantasy unit on most days.
