Afghanistan vs India Prediction, 3rd T20I – Who will win today’s match between AFG vs IND?

Afghanistan (AFG) will look to salvage some pride when they take on India (IND) in the inconsequential third T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday, September 17.

The Blue Tigers have been disappointing so far in the series, not just with the bat but also with the ball. The first T20I saw them struggling inside the power play when they were batting. While they didn't lose too many wickets in the initials goings of the second T20I, They suffered a serious batting collage, going from 51/1 to 100/6.

India chased down a target of 157 with seven wickets and 38 balls to spare. Meanwhile, in the second T20I, they raced to the 160-run target with seven wickets and 31 balls left to play. Fans will be hoping to see a more competitive contest in the last game.

The pitch has not had any demons. Afghanistan have made batting look extremely difficult in both games. However, Indian batters have bludgeoned balls out of the park to finish both matches in a canter. With short boundaries and a quick outifeld on offer, defending sub-160 totals is very difficult.
