Advantage

Mohammad Nabi’s men can beat India even if they win Namibia, but for that they need a big win to significantly improve their net Korrika rate. However, India’s recent play still gives it an advantage.

The New Zealand batsman has seen it in good shape and his bowling, especially the quality rounds of Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner, will be crucial in Abu Dhabi, where longer limits may be a little bigger challenge for batsmen who want to go big.

Afghanistan, meanwhile, will be sweating during Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s season. In his absence, the Nabi skipper has to manage with four quality rotations from Rashid Khan. His other bowlers have lacked discipline and cutting.

In the baptismal section, openers Hazratullah Zazai and Mohammad Shahzad tend to set the tone with PowerPlay’s aggressive and aggressive edge. It’s up to Trent Boult and Tim Southee to see if they can do the same against the rhythm pair.

The whole of India will also be seen up close.
