After hosting a double-header today, Sheikh Zayed Stadium will host a Super 12 fixture between India and Afghanistan. The match will take place on Wednesday in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. It is a do-or-die match for the Indian cricket team. If they lose, they will be eliminated from the mega event.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan can inch a step closer to the semifinals if they win at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. However, history does not favor Afghanistan. India have a 100% win record in T20 World Cup matches against the Mohammad Nabi-led outfit.
The last time India and Afghanistan battled at the T20 World Cup was back in 2012, where India won by 23 runs. Afghanistan have come a long way since then. Some fans believe Afghanistan can give India a run for their money tomorrow at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
