India will be looking to build on their opening round victory against Australia with a win over Afghanistan, who started the competition with a loss to Bangladesh.

India are without star batter and demi-god elect Shubman Gill, as he continues to recover from dengue fever, but are otherwise in good shape to go two-from-two to start their campaign.

Their win over Australia became a Virat Kohli and KL Rahul classic, as the pair saved them from the perilous position of 2-3 to guide them to an eventually comfortable six-wicket win.

Afghanistan’s defeat against Bangladesh, on the other hand, was a frustrating one as the basics deserted them, even if the penchant for the spectacular did not. Stunning catches were taken but simple ones were dropped in a theme that summed up one of cricket’s most mercurial teams.

The cruelty of the draw also sees Afghanistan play England after India, meaning a team that was seen to be dangerous heading into the competition, could be out of semi-final contention within two weeks of the tournament beginning.
