Dew is also expected to play a big role as the match progresses, with 150-160 being a decent total at the venue.
Today’s IND vs AFG Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Rahmanullah Gurbaz is one of Afghanistan's best batters, with his ability against both pace and spin being noteworthy. Although he hasn't been in the best of form so far, one can back him to come good in the IND vs AFG clash on Wednesday.
Batter
KL Rahul: KL Rahul hasn't been able to replicate his IPL form in the ICC Men's World Cup 2021. Although the pitches aren't the best to bat on at the moment, Rahul's ability to play big shots and score runs at a quick rate makes him a good addition to your IND vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Mohammad Nabi: Mohammad Nabi has led the Afghans well with valuable contributions with both the bat and ball. While his bowling prowess is well-known across the cricketing world, Nabi's big-hitting ability makes him one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Jasprit Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah picked up a few wickets in India's loss to New Zealand on Sunday. Bumrah remains the only Indian bowler to take a wicket in this T20 World Cup and has looked a class apart. With this being a must-win game for the Indians, all eyes will be on Bumrah once again to deliver the goods with the ball in hand.
