After topping in the group stages of the ongoing marquee tournament, the Indian team will be hoping to continue their dominance in the Super 8 round as well.

IND vs AFG pitch report:
As per the reports, the Barbados pitch has helped the fast bowlers in the ongoing tournament. Batting first has been more fruitful at this ground as the wicket gets increasingly slower. The pitch has played differently on many occasions even in the same innings.
Earlier during the high-voltage clash between Australia and England, both sides took the bowlers to cleaners, scoring 74 and 54, respectively. However, after some time in the innings, the power-hitting became increasingly difficult.
Notably, Australia’s 201 runs against England is the highest total at the Barbados pitch in 2024. In three of the four completed games in Barbados, teams have managed to cross the 150-run mark.
