Background
India vs Afghanistan ICC Cricket World Cup Match Live Updates: Hello and welcome to live coverage of IND vs AFG ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match. India vs Afghanistan ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 match will take place on October 11, 2023 at 14:00 IST at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. India vs Afghanistan ODI World Cup 2023 match is expected to be a thriller.
For today's India vs Afghanistan ODI World Cup fixture, India has an option in veteran pacer Mohammed Shami, who notably claimed a hat-trick in this matchup four years ago. However, bringing in Mohammed Shami will force India to sacrificing some batting depth, which could be a concern given India's unconvincing start against Australia. Alternatively, the Indian team management might consider bringing in Shardul Thakur, in-form pace bowling all-rounder, as an alternative. Shubman, still on the road to recovery after contracting dengue a few days ago, remains unavailable following his recent hospitalization in Chennai.
In terms of tactics and strategy, the Indian cricket team for sure will take on Afghanistan's fast bowlers more aggressively, considering Afghanistan's strength in spin bowling. The team batting second will definitely have an advantage here in Delhi due to the 'dew factor'.
Afghanistan lost their opening match in ODI World Cup 2023 but this might not lead to the team making immediate changes to their lineup. However, they could consider introducing a left-arm wrist spinner like Noor Ahmad, who could be effective against the predominantly right-handed Indian batting lineup.
