IND vs AFG: Pitch Report
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, out of 27 ODIs, teams batting first have clinched 13 wins, with chasing teams securing an equal number of victories; one match ended without a result. The average score when batting first is 237. The highest and lowest scores recorded at this venue are 330 and 99, respectively. As demonstrated in the recent South Africa vs. Sri Lanka clash, batsmen can prosper here once they navigate the initial challenges, evidenced by the Proteas setting a World Cup record with a mammoth 428 runs. The pitch, with its black soil, has become progressively slower over the years, requiring batsmen to exhibit patience. However, once settled in, they can capitalize on the waning conditions. Fast bowlers have had notable success here, as witnessed in the most recent game. Nevertheless, given the stadium's history, spinners can't be overlooked. With the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup incorporating day-night fixtures, dew will play a significant role. This can make the ball slide, favouring batsmen, but posing difficulties for bowlers. Given the previous match's pitch behaviour, captains winning the toss might lean towards opting to bat first.
IND vs AFG: Head-To-Head ODI Record
India holds a distinct upper hand in the head-to-head ODI encounters against Afghanistan, having secured victories in 2 of the 3 matches, with one ending in a tie. In the ODI World Cup history, India and Afghanistan have faced each other just once. This memorable clash occurred during the 2019 World Cup at the Rose Bowl in Southampton where the Men in Blue managed a narrow 11-run victory.
