IND vs AFG Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 9 Dream11 Preview
India and Afghanistan entered the tournament in very different situations. India goes into the World Cup as one of the favorites to win, as the last time they hosted, they won it all in 2011.
While Afghanistan, who did automatically qualify for the World Cup, can not be seen as anything more than a ‘dark horse’, a team not favored to make it to the knockout stage but will win a few matches here and there.
The two teams will play in the Asia Cup right before the tournament. Their performances there might indicate their World Cup fortunes.
