Head-to-Head

India have won their last four ODIs against Afghanistan, with the previous match ending in a tie.

India Form

India have dominated Afghanistan in the three-match series, winning the first two contests by seven wickets and 170 runs.

Shubman Gill has scored 126, 84* and 154 in his three innings against Afghanistan during this series. Ishan Kishan has scored 70, 79, 33, 34 and 125 in his last five knocks and has hit 41 sixes in his 26 ODIs. KL Rahul has scored 56, 60, 100 and 39* in his last four innings.

Gurnoor Brar and Arshdeep Singh each took three wickets in the 2nd ODI victory. Brar has figures of 4/57, 2/27, 3/27 and 3/60 in his last five matches. Singh has taken 2/27 and 3/45 in the two matches in the series.

Afghanistan Form

Afghanistan won their previous ODI series 3-0 against Bangladesh but lost the first two matches of the current series and look destined for a third straight loss.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has scored 88, 41, 24, 102 & 41 in his last six knocks, while Rahmat Shah has scores of 50, 60 and 79 in his last five matches. Ibrahim Zadran has been in form with the bat, scoring 95*, 61, 578 and 21 in his last five innings.

Rashid Khan has figures of 2/25, 1/37 and 3/48 in his last three matches. Nangeyalia Kharote (4/76) knocked over four of India’s top six in the 2nd ODI.

Team news

A fresh pitch has been prepared for the 3rd ODI at the Chepauk stadium in Chennai that should offer a balanced pitch for the final match of the series. It should play to the hands of the Afghanistan spinners, but they will need their batters to raise their game substantially if they hope to snatch a consolation victory against this powerhouse Indian side.

India squad (possible XI): Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harsh Dubey, Harshit Rana, Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh.

Afghanistan squad (possible XI): Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Sediq Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmat Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, AM Ghazanfar, Ziaur Rahman, Mohammad Saleem.
