Match preview

Ante-post T20 World Cup favourites India need other results to go in their favour if they are to reach the semi-finals and they face a confident and dangerous Afghanistan side in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

Virat Kohli's men are reeling after a ten-wicket defeat to rivals Pakistan and an eight-wicket loss against New Zealand, who restricted them to just 110-7 in Dubai.

The Afghans should be no pushovers after thumping Scotland and Namibia and running Pakistan close until the 19th over when Asif Ali struck four sixes to seal victory.

India's batting has been tentative, hitting just six sixes in their first two matches, and Afghanistan, who racked up 190-4 against the Scots, are worth backing to hit more maximums than their underperforming opponents.
