The ICC World Cup 2019 has been short on closely contested matches so far even though only the top-10 teams have qualified for the even this time around. Unfortunately, we don’t think India vs Afghanistan ICC World Cup 2019 is going to be the match that changes that trend.

India is unbeaten in the tournament and the only points it has dropped have been due to rain. Afghanistan has lost all of its matches by a big margin and has even failed to be competitive. This is a contest between teams at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Of course, these are the kinds of matches where an upset would be greatly appreciated by the entire cricketing world. Is there anything to suggest that Afghanistan may be able to pull off something special against India and pull off the biggest victory in its cricketing history? Let’s find out.

ABOUT THE MATCH

A win for New Zealand over South Africa has made the task to qualify for the playoffs extremely difficult for the Proteas. They are placed eight in the points table with just one win in five matches. Almost at the opposite end of the points table, at number two, are England, who have played fantastic cricket in the tournament so far. In between the two spots are Sri Lanka, at sixth, who were perceived to be one of the weakest teams in the competition, but have surprisingly still kept themselves in the business to qualify for the final four. Their next game, against England, is going to be critical for them. The match is to be played at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds on Friday, June 21st.

Date –  Jun 21, 2019

The Chennai Super Kings finally lost their first match at home in their previous match against the Mumbai Indians. They now play their last regular season home match against the Delhi Capitals. This is going to be a clash between the top two teams of IPL 2019. The Delhi Capitals have actually displaced the Chennai Super Kings from the top of the table thanks to a better net run-rate.

Both teams have won eight out of their twelve matches this season and have been very impressive. A win in this match would all but confirm a top-2 finish once the group stage has ended, thus providing an extra opportunity to try and qualify for the IPL 2019 final.

Chennai Super Kings have had a four-day break and that would have allowed some of their key players to recover from illnesses.
