ICC Cricket World Cup hosts India take on Afghanistan at the 48,000-seater Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi in the second of their nine group games. Afghanistan win the toss and elect to bat first.
India go into the match high on confidence after beating five-time champions Australia in their opening match, while Afghanistan lost their opener to Bangladesh.
The hosts still have concerns about the health of opener Shubman Gill, who missed the last game with a virus, so Ishan Kishan will likely get an extended run opening the innings. Afghanistan appear to have a fully fit squad to choose from.
Meanwhile the last updated is Afganisthan collects 79 runs of 3 wickets from 18 over.
