What channel is India v Afghanistan Cricket World Cup 2023 match on? UK time, TV coverage and live stream
Check out how to watch India v Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
India will be looking to build on their opening round victory against Australia with a win over Afghanistan, who started the competition with a loss to Bangladesh.
India are without star batter and demi-god elect Shubman Gill, as he continues to recover from dengue fever, but are otherwise in good shape to go two-from-two to start their campaign.
Their win over Australia became a Virat Kohli and KL Rahul classic, as the pair saved them from the perilous position of 2-3 to guide them to an eventually comfortable six-wicket win.
Afghanistan’s defeat against Bangladesh, on the other hand, was a frustrating one as the basics deserted them, even if the penchant for the spectacular did not. Stunning catches were taken but simple ones were dropped in a theme that summed up one of cricket’s most mercurial teams.
The cruelty of the draw also sees Afghanistan play England after India, meaning a team that was seen to be dangerous heading into the competition, could be out of semi-final contention within two weeks of the tournament beginning.
