T20 World Cup 2021: India vs Afghanistan: Live Telecast, Live Streaming, IST Time, Match Prediction

Abu Dhabi, November 2: With their semifinal hopes as good as over, India will hope to notch up their first win in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 when they face a tricky Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday (November 2).

Virat Kohli and his band looked clueless in both their matches while going down to Pakistan and New Zealand. Needless to say, those two defeats have pegged back their semifinal hopes, and will require copious help from other teams to progress to the last four from Group 2.

The batsmen looked hopelessly out of touch in both the matches as Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja etc looked caged at the crease. Skipper Kohli though redeemed himself with a fine fifty against Pakistan.

India need a swift tunaround to at least get out of the tournament with their heads holding high.

On the other hand, Afghanistan will nourish some realistic hope of beating India and move closer to a semis berth. Their batsmen are playing some fearless brand of cricket in the T20 WC, and even put the in-form Pak bowlers to the sword.

It will be a big worry for India. Their spin attack under Rashid Khan too is in fine fettle and the only chink in the armour is the lack of an experienced pacer and Hamid Hassan seemed to have offered them some option.

In that context, here ’s the essential details of the match like TV and Live Streaming info and IST time details along with a match prediction segment.
