India vs Afghanistan ODI Series Schedule
Afghanistan travel to take on India in the 50 over format of the game. This series puts some real pressure on India. The home side will know that they are expected to sweep to a series win and will be given little credit if they triumph. Meanwhile, a single loss on their own patch would be seen as a major shock, with Afghanistan arriving for the series looking to land a stunning blow.

Teams & Format
The One Day International (ODI) format will see the two sides provided with a maximum of 50 overs (300 deliveries) to bat and 50 overs in the field in each match.
The 50 over game is shorter than a Test match but longer than a Twenty20. This means spectators will see the sides partaking in a tactical battle like in a Test along with the big hitting that T20's are more renowned for.
India arrive as the massive favourites to win the series as arguably the best team in the world. This Indian side is crammed with wicket-taking bowlers, big-hitting batters and brilliant fielders, meaning they aim to dominate every facet of the game.
Afghanistan constitute a budding prospect in the game right now. Improving across formats, the nation have been able to cultivate a team that has some talented batters and bowlers, but beating India in India is a challenge even a side like Australia would struggle to overcome.
Key Players & Prospects
| Player (Team) | Prospects |
|---|---|
| Shubman Gill (India) | India's captain and one of the best multi-formats batters in the world, Shubman Gill will be the prize wicket in this series. If Afghanistan can get him cheaply then it will be a big win, but if he can build an innings, he will likely prove a match-winner. |
| Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) | Rashid Khan has shown himself to be one of the best bowlers in the world. His brand of spin both takes wickets and piles the pressure on the opposition via miserly spells. |
India vs Afghanistan ODI Series Popular Betting Markets
- Top Batter: Both sides boast a number of quality options with the bat, meaning there will likely be runs scored across the series. Shubman Gill is arguably the best of the lot featuring in the series, but anyone could realistically top the run scorer charts, and if you can pick who top scores across the match or series, there will likely be decent odds available.
- Method Of First Dismissal: The ODI game is an interesting prospect as batters want to score quickly but will know they do not necessarily need to go from ball one. With any of bowled, LBW, caught, run out or other on offer, looking into how the openers generally get out is the best way to nail this market, with some caught playing across their pads more than they are caught in the deep.
