India will face Afghanistan in their first Super 8 match at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Thursday. India topped Group A, winning three out of four matches, with their game against Canada called off due to rain. Afghanistan, also with three wins in Group C, only lost to the West Indies.

The last T20I between these two teams ended in a tie, with India winning in the super over in Bengaluru earlier this year. Historically, India has dominated Afghanistan in T20Is, winning seven out of eight encounters.

India will field a full-strength squad, with key players rested after the group stage. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav might make his tournament debut. Meanwhile, Afghanistan are expected to keep their lineup unchanged.

The Kensington Oval features average boundary lengths and a pitch that favors bowlers early on, particularly spinners in the middle overs. Teams batting first usually have the upper hand at this venue.

This match promises to be an exciting contest as both teams look to start their Super 8 campaign on a high note.
