The third T20 International match between India and Afghanistan is being played at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium. Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran has won the toss and decided to bowl first.

After winning the toss, the Afghanistan captain said, “We will bowl first. In the last two matches we lost the toss. The bowlers will get some help in the beginning. We have lost the series, but we have thought about the things where we could not do well.

India is one of the best teams. We want to keep things easy for ourselves. There are two changes in our team. Gulbadin Naib and Noor Ahmed are not playing.”

After losing the toss for the first time in the series, the Indian captain said, “We would have batted first. This also gives us an interesting challenge. It is important that we focus on the present moment and do not make things difficult. We have made one change in the team. Yash Thakur has come in the team in place of Arshdeep.”

The Indian team has already achieved an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. In batting, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson were in excellent form in the second T20. Abhishek has scored a total of 121 runs in 2 matches so far.

Whereas, Samson played a stormy half-century innings. Ishan Kishan has played his role well at number three position. At the same time, in bowling, the pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh have performed brilliantly with the new ball. In the spin department, Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi had performed well in the second T20.
