The 28th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played between India and Afghanistan at the Rose Bowl, Southampton on Saturday, June 22.
India are unbeaten and will be looking to keep the winning momentum going. It will be also a good chance to sort out some of their selections issues. Still, the Virat Kohli-led won’t give away an easy inch to Afghanistan on Saturday.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, have lost five out of five matches in the tournament so far. However, breaking the losing streak against India will be an almost impossible task. However, an unlikely win may spark their comeback in the tournament.
India are currently at the 4th place in the World Cup 2019 points table with 3 wins and one washed off game against New Zealand while Afghanistan are struggling at the bottom of the points table with no wins in their five games.
With all 10 teams at the World Cup part of the round-robin group stage, each team will play a total of nine matches before the knockout stages, starting July 9. The top four teams will qualify for the knockout stages.
