India defeated Afghanistan by 47 runs in the Super-8 of the T-20 World Cup on Thursday. With this, India has strengthened its hopes of reaching the semi-finals. On the other hand, Afghanistan will now have to win both the last matches to reach the semi-finals.
Both teams clashed for the first time in the T20 World Cup in 2009, where the Caribbean players defeated England in their own home. England's losing streak against West Indies ended in 2021, when the English bowlers bowled out the Caribbean team for just 55 runs on the Dubai ground. Today West Indies will take revenge for this defeat.
