They are the top contenders for the title and will go into the finals confident against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan are coming into the finals after beating two of the strongest teams in Asia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Afghanistan beat the odds to defeat Pakistan in the semis to reach the finals. A fantastic form in the bowling order of Afghanistan led to their victory in the semis. However, they will have to deliver a more convincing performance in the upcoming game against India.
India has a terrific record playing against Afghanistan in the T20Is. The sides last collided in the Asia Cup 2022 where India managed to humiliate Afghanistan by a 101-run victory. Both the teams will play their second-string squad, but India with a much stronger and seasoned players in the team, will go in as match favourites for the fixture.

India vs Afghanistan Betting Tips
India to score higher before 1st dismissal
India boasts an excellent line-up of batters in the team. Their opening line-up involves Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad who were included in the Indian team after astonishing performances in the IPL. The pair blasted off in the previous game where they secured 103 runs before their first dismissal. The ground conditions at Hangzhou is very batting friendly and is enabling these batters to hit a lot of aerial shots. Gaikwad scored 25 while Jaiswal hammered 100 runs in the game and looked like the ideal pair to lead a good partnership. However, Jaiswal faced an unfortunate early dismissal in the next game against Bangladesh without scoring a run. Gaikwad carried on and scored an unbeaten 40 in the game. The pair will return to establish a handsome score in the upcoming clash against Afghanistan.
India to score high in the first six overs
India has an aggressive line-up of batters in the team. With names like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube in the top order, India has managed to win games comfortably in the competition. IND scored 63 & 68 runs in the first six overs of the two games they played in the competition. This indicates their excellence with the bat and expected to perform similarly in the upcoming match.
