Team India is all set to lock horns with Afghanistan in the third and final T20I clash at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The match will start at 7 pm
The hosts have comfortably secured wins in the first two matches over Afghanistan. They are leading the three-match T20I series with 2-0. This will be the last T20I match for the "Men in Blue" before the global T20I showpiece. Later in the month, India will face England in a five-match test series
The previous two games were not very impressive for the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma as he departed for ducks in both matches. The team management would definitely like to see the skipper signing off from the series with a substantial innings
With the Indian batting lineup displaying a stupendous show, the management will not look to make changes to it. Kuldeep Yadav and Avesh Khan might feature in the third T20I if the management wants to provide them some game time. Kuldeep can replace spinners like Ravi Bishnoi or Washington Sundar and speedster Mukesh Kumar can make way for Avesh
Afghanistan will expect some valuable contributions from their wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the third T20I as his salvos up the order go a long way in Afghans setting or chasing a target
