India vs Afghanistan: Head to head in ODIs

India and Afghanistan will face each other in their second match of the 2023 ODI World Cup on Wednesday, October 11, at 2 p.m. (IST).

This match no. 9 will be played on the outstanding pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Now India will be looking to carry their momentum forward after beating Australia in their opening match. Afghanistan, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back after losing to Bangladesh.

In the ODI World Cup, India has won the tournament twice, in 1983 and 2011, while Afghanistan never progressed beyond the group stage.

In the 2019 World Cup clash between India and Afghanistan, India secured a hard-fought 11-run victory. India managed to reach a total of 224 runs from their 50 overs, with notable contributions from Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav, both scoring half-centuries. At the time, pitch conditions were not favorable but the Indian team is familiar with the pitches now. Can it result in a win?
