India takes on Afghanistan and Barbados in the Super 8 stage of their campaign.
In this competition, India, who are playing in the Caribbean for the first time, may add an extra spinner to their winning lineup.
On Thursday, June 20, in Bridgetown, Barbados, India will play their first Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against a formidable Afghanistan team after advancing through the group round without incident. The highly anticipated match between the dark horses and the former champions will take place at Kensington Oval. India will want to win the first game of the three-round Super 8, but Rohit Sharma's team won't have it easy.
Afghanistan, who have never defeated India, advanced to the Super 8 following a humiliating loss to the West Indies. But India is aware that, on their day, Rashid Khan's soldiers are capable of defeating any opposition. Afghanistan completed their group stage matches in the Caribbean, while India is making its maiden trip to the islands following games played in the United States. The pitch in New York, where India played three matches, was significantly biased in favor of pace bowlers. Rain in Florida caused their most recent group-stage match against Canada to be canceled.
India doesn't have the luxury of acclimating to the Caribbean climate; they must perform at their peak right away. The Asian giants have had as many as three full-strength training sessions at the Kensington Oval in the lead-up to Thursday's game.
India's bowling and batting departments both have the experience to handle the unfamiliarity of the tryst. The Men in Blue will be playing in three separate locations over the course of six days, therefore Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be crucial to India's chances not only in the match against Afghanistan but also throughout the Super 8 round. Although Virat Kohli may not have had much of an impact on the score during the New York leg, India will benefit from his track record of succeeding under duress on major platforms.
