The start of Rashid Khan’s captaincy tenure has been impressive, in his first-ever fixture as captain, he led Afghanistan to a historic Test win against Bangladesh. The mystery spinner also led his side to T20I wins against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in a tri-series. This will be his first stint as an ODI captain after being handed the charge of all three formats. Kieron Pollard will lead a new-look West Indies side which features CPL’s top scorer Brandon King and leading wicket-taker Hayden Walsh. The Caribbean side themselves had a disappointing World-Cup campaign, finishing second-last in the group. West Indies also lost every competed game against India during their recent series across all three formats.

WI vs AFG – Dream11 Team Prediction – Wicket-Keepers: Nicholas Pooran (WI) had a good series against India, so selecting him will be a good option.

WI vs AFG – Dream11 Team Prediction – Batsmen: Dream11 lets you pick up to six batsmen but it will be ideal to pick only four. The batsmen in your team should be Rahmat Shah (AFG), Evin Lewis (WI), Kieron Pollard (WI) and Hazratullah Zazai (AFG).

WI vs AFG – Dream11 Team Prediction – All-Rounders: Both the teams have some great all-rounders on show, so the three all-rounders in your team should be Mohammad Nabi (AFG), Rashid Khan (AFG) and Jason Holder (WI).

WI vs AFG – Dream11 Team Prediction – Bowlers: The remaining three bowlers in your team should be Mujeeb-ur-Rahman (AFG), Sheldon Cottrell (WI) and Keemo Paul (WI).
