Kuwait vs Afghanistan Chance of Winning

Kuwait have been surprisingly good this year, beating India in a comprehensive fashion. They bring an interesting roster led by Yasin Patel, featuring aggressive batters like Bilal Tahir and Adnan Idrees, and an all-rounder option in Meet Bhavsar. All of them have rendered their effectiveness to guide their side to a place in the quarter-finals.

On the other hand, Afghanistan are not too lenient either. Led by Gulbadin Naib, they’ve shown extreme amount of spunk that have reduced the opposition to a game of dice. The instinct to bat long and hit big are so ingrained that you can count the fact that Afghanistan are going to deliver the goods no matter what happens.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Afghanistan

Afghanistan to win. The trio of Gulbadin Naib, Karim Janat, and Farmanullah have been impeccable with the bat this season and that has helped them have an early dominance even when teams like India, Australia and Sri Lanka failed. Naib scored a half-century in the previous clash against South Africa whereas Janat managed an 11-ball 46. So trusting them to carry the same momentum against Afghanistan won’t be a bad idea.
