3rd T20I India vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction: Preview

It might be safe to say that out of all the three formats in international cricket, India’s T20 side is the least good. While India has made the last two World Test Championship finals and was the best team in the 2023 ODI World Cup (before a loss in the final), it has been several years, maybe even a decade since India has put up a proper title challenge in the T20 World Cup.

Afghanistan too have some kinks to iron out before the T20 World Cup later this year, the India team has six months to essentially build a new team.

3rd T20I India vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report

Like other Stadiums in this series, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has historically had a batting-friendly pitch. As far as T20s are considered, some of the biggest totals in the IPL are made on this ground.

But when it comes to T20Is, pitches made here are made dustier, allowing spinners to wreak havoc on batting orders.

Regardless of the pitch used, sides batting second here win more matches due to natural dew formation later in the evening.

IND vs AFG 3rd T20I Dream11: Who Will Win The Match

Contrary to popular opinion, Afghanistan has their best chance to win a match in this series here. If the pitches are made spin-friendly, the likes of Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman could tear through the inexperienced Indian batting order.

Speaking of experience, Virat Kohli, if he plays in this match, will bring years of experience playing on this ground as part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL to the table.

Despite that, we believe that Afghanistan will win at least one match in this series, and it will be this one after the series is already won by India

3rd T20I India vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction: Afghanistan will defeat India in the 3rd T20I of the three-match series.
