India vs Afghanistan prediction

Expect a very good batting pitch to greet these two nations in this final ODI match of the series between India and Afghanistan that the hosts lead 2-0. There is also the possibility of some spin off the surface but when considering the white ball format with one ball used for each end, it shouldn’t have much of an effect despite the quality of bowlers on show.

India have been just far superior to their opponents during their tour whether it be the only test or now the white ball fixtures. They shouldn’t drop a game here and if they do, it would be a big surface and blow the potential for an ODI series sweep.

India vs Afghanistan tip: India to win
