India vs Afghanistan, ICC World Cup 2019: Key Afghan players to watch out for
Afghanistan will take on the Men in Blue in their sixth game of the tournament at Rose Bowl cricket ground at 3 PM IST.
Afghanistan cricket team that lies at the bottom of the points table will encounter Virat Kohli led Men in Blue team which is currently at the 4th position on the table. On one hand where the Indian cricket team have won all the matches played in the tournament, while on the other hand, Afghanistan are still struggling to register a win. Afghanistan will still try to give a tough competition in this encounter against the Blue army.
Hashmatullah Shahidi- The Afghanistan batting crumbled against the balanced England side resulting in 150 runs defeat at the Old Trafford cricket ground. However, Afghanistan’s Hashmatullah Shahidi managed to rise up to the occasion even in the most pressure situations and contributed 76 runs to the team’s overall score. He was the highest run-scorer for the team with a strike rate of 76 and provided the team stability after a poor display of the team’s opening. The team will rely highly on this cricketer in order to tackle the likes of Jasprit Bumrah.
Gulbadin Naib- Even though Afghanistan has been struggling with its performance in the tournament in all the departments, Gulbadin Naib possesses the ability to change the team’s bowling fate. In the previous game against the hosts, he managed to claim 3 wickets with an economy of 6.80. In his 10 overs spell, he gave away 63 runs whilst claiming three wickets.
