India-Afghanistan 2nd T-20 is about to start soon. I hope Afghanistan performs really well in this encounter and surprises everyone to make the series more entertaining since a whitewash is expected and boring.
I feel they have better chances if they bowl first since they have some explosive batsmen especially lower down the order.
In the first t20 match, Afghanistan did try to perform well. I thought Afghanistan had given a pretty decent target. Of course, when the appointment is in India, anything under 170 is not very safe. And India also proves that very well. India was able to win the match without any problems in the end. I just expected a better bowling performance from Afghanistan. Afghanistan did get the first week as quickly. But they were unable to do much after that. I think Afghanistan seriously missed the bowling of Rashid Khan. With him, I believe they had a better chance to defend the target. But at the end of the day, it is what it is and you cannot say that as an excuse.
If Afghanistan had batted a little better in the first T20 match of India vs Afghanistan, maybe they would have won the first T20 match against India. Because the bowling line of Afghanistan is very good but in the first T20 match against India we did not see that good bowling from Afghanistan. If Afghanistan want to win against India then they must improve both batting and bowling otherwise they can never win against India. In the second T20 match like the first T20 match, they will have to try and try to bowl Afghanistan better. If Afghanistan want to win the second T20 match against India they must bowl well and restrict India to few runs otherwise Afghanistan cannot win the second T20 match.
