Tough choice

Afghanistan have done a brilliant job in restricting India to 224. Their spinners bowled disciplined, tight lines and the Indian batsmen looked clueless against the guile of Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi.

The pitch is slow with plenty of grip and turn for the spinners coupled with uneven bounce. Much will depend on Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal when Afghanistan comes out to chase 225 to cause a huge upset in this World Cup

Hello and welcome to the live update of India vs Aghanistan. The weather is bright and sunny, with rain a distant dream. The air is buzzing with one question, will Rishabh Pant play today? Will he make his World Cup debut against Afghanistan. Well, we will find out in a bit.

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is out for some matches with injury, so Mohammed Shami can get a place in the starting eleven. For Afghanistan, their tournament has started at the worst way possible. But they can take heart from the fact that the last time these two teams met (Asia Cup 2018), the match ended in a tie. Can they repeat that feat today?
