Today’s cricket match time for the second faceoff is 7:30 India time, 6:30 pm AFT and 3 pm UK time. The planned venue is Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Match Winning Prediction
The expertise and versatility of Indian squad has always been extraordinary. However, prior to India vs Afghanistan, the overthrows from New Zealand and Pakistan are slightly shattering India’s winning probability.
Besides, Afghanistan has ace batters as well as spinners, including Usman Ghani and Rashid Khan.
With all these stats, India is still leading the winning prospect at 79%, according to Google Sports.
