Afghanistan has emerged as a major force in the T20 format. In their previous warm-up against Scotland, Darwish Rasooli anchored the innings with a blistering 84, while the experienced Mohammad Nabi provided late-innings impetus. Their bowling attack, led by the spin duo of Rashid Khan and Nabi, remains their greatest asset on the relatively dry Bengaluru surface.
West Indies will use this fixture to settle their middle-order combinations. With a squad packed with "six-hitters" like Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell, the Windies will be testing whether they can maintain their aggressive approach throughout the 20 overs against Afghanistan’s world-class spinners.
The BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 has recently shown a tendency to favor batters who can negotiate the initial bounce. As seen in the Afghanistan-Scotland game, totals in the range of 170-180 are considered competitive. With no rain forecast for Bengaluru today, a full 40-over match is expected, allowing both captains to rotate their entire 15-man squads.
