Indian Royals vs Afghanistan Pathans Prediction & Betting Tips 2025
Matches involving Afghanistan Pathans have been high-scoring. Their first game saw an aggregate score of 437 runs while both teams crossed 150 in their second match, too. The Indian Royals, too, posted a respectable score of 161 runs, but they managed to restrict the opposition to a score of just 115. We’re expecting the Pathans to perform better than the Lions and hence, are expecting the aggregate score to go above 300 once again.
We are also backing Afghanistan Pathans’ captain Asghar Afghan to go big in the match. The tournament’s top-scorer has posted a half-century in both of his games and looks in great touch. We’re expecting the 37-year-old to emerge as one of the leading run scorers of the match.
Indian Royals vs Afghanistan Pathans Match Toss Prediction
Two of the three evening matches were washed out while the only game that was played out saw Sri Lankan Lions defend their total against Afghanistan Pathans. The tournament has seen teams that batted first win twice with just one instance of a successful chase in three matches. Hence, we’re expecting the captain that wins the toss to bat first.
Weather Report
The weather in Nathdwara during this tournament has been unpredictable with three games already washed out despite very little chances of rain during the first three days. There is next to no chance of rain on matchday, but going by the way the weather has behaved in the Asian Legends League, we’re being cautious. The temperature is likely to be in the early thirties to the late twenties during match hours.

Indian Royals vs Afghanistan Pathans Betting Odds
Expect a high-scoring powerplay at the Miraj International Cricket Stadium
Both Indian Royals and Afghanistan Pathans like to maximise the field restrictions during the powerplay overs. The Royals scored 50 runs in the first six overs in their game against the Sri Lankan Lions. The Pathans, meanwhile, average 55 runs for the powerplay overs in the two matches they’ve played. Both teams’ top order batters like to go after the bowlers from the first delivery itself and we’re expecting the same trend to continue. Hence, we’re expecting over 45 runs to be scored by each team in the first 6 overs.

Indian Royals vs Afghanistan Pathans Top Batters
Shikhar Dhawan to be Indian Royals’ top batsman
Stylish left-hander Shikhar Dhawan started the game against Sri Lankan Lions well, but perished against medium pacer Thilan Thushara. Prior to losing his wicket, he turned back the clock and showed some great shots, sending the ball beyond the fence three times. We’re expecting him to go big in the match against the Pathans.
Asghar Afghan to be Afghanistan Pathans’ top batsman
Afghanistan’s captain Asghar Afghan has been their most consistent batsman in the tournament. The wicketkeeper-batsman has scores of 65 and 69 in the two matches, becoming the only player to post two fifty-plus scores this season so far. The 37-year-old is on the hunt for his third half century and we wouldn’t put it beyond him to get it against the pace-setters.
Indian Royals vs Afghanistan Pathans Top Bowlers
Shadab Jakati to be Indian Royals’ top bowler
Shadab Jakati spun a web around the Sri Lankan Lions in the team’s first game of the tournament. The 44-year-old off spinner returned with figures of 3/26 in the match to help the Royals defend a score of 161. Interestingly, all three of his wickets saw him trick the batters and get them stumped. We’re backing him to repeat the feat against the team at the bottom of the table.
Sahejadkhan Pathan to be Afghanistan Pathans’ top bowler
The Pathans’ leading wicket-taker in the tournament is Sahejadkhan Pathan. The 29-year-old Gujarat-born bowler tends to concede a lot of runs, but gets wickets as well. He has conceded 88 runs in two matches but his three wickets put him fourth in the list of the highest wicket-takers of the 2025 Asian Legends League.
