This match is fixed and/or Afghanistan always supports Indians and they want Indians to win. If you see history, this is always the case. You can judge yourself their performance with Srilanka / Pakistan and today's performance against India.

Also, this was the game plan, that Afghanistan will lose badly to India to give India a run rate advantage in case Afghanistan had won the last match against Pakistan but fortunately, Pakistan did not let this manipulation work as they beat Afghanistan and through to the finals.  
Another conspiracy theory and what is the point of fixing in your opinion if the results does not matter. Have some common sense before throwing in these theories  Tongue. Do you think there was any spot fixing involved when Pakistan went on to loose 9 wickets and then somehow managed to score the winning runs from an impossible situation and the fight between the Afghanistan and Pakistan players during the final overs as well as the audience riots  which was really unfortunate as people are not willing to take this as a sporting event  Roll Eyes.

I don't understand why everyone talks about fixing when India wins. We all know that India gets some extra benefits from ICC. This does not mean that if they win the match will be fixed. The Indian squad is very strong. And with the help of Virat Kohli's 122 runs from 61 balls, India collected more than 200. Afghanistan does not have the ability to win by batting at a target of more than 200 runs. And naturally, Afghanistan was defeated. I don't see any fixing here. India played well they won.
Pakistanis have a habit of spreading such fake conspiracy theories, they think all the teams involved in  India batted fantastically today don't know whether it was that freedom to play without any pressure of qualification or elimination or what. One thing is for sure, Virat should open more often, I know it's equally difficult to shift Rohit or KL on number 3 but Virat has proven himself as an opener so many times. Also after Bumrah & Shami are back, which should obviously be done before the world Cup. Bhuvi, Bumrah & Shami or Bhuvi, Bumrah & Arshdeep can be tried as 3 pacers, but Bhuvi should not be kept for death, he is primarily a swing and seam bowler, he should be given overs early on to take wickets.
