A win would aid India in their quest for top spot, while Afghanistan will be eyeing their first win of the tournament. Having lost each of their five completed games so far, Afghanistan face an uphill challenge as they take on India in their sixth match of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 in Southampton on Saturday.
India’s progress at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 has been an ascending march so far. They have put on complete performances in each of their three completed games. While the top-order has consistently given good starts, the bowlers, aided by some good fielding, have backed it up with disciplined performance. The team management, however, will be worried over their key players getting injured.
