Following the conclusion of the one-off Test, attention now turns to the limited-overs leg as India and Afghanistan prepare to face off in the opening ODI of the three-match series at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on Saturday, June 13. As per our IND vs AFG Dream11 prediction, multiple players can earn a lot of fantasy points and should be included in your teams.

India enters the series with plenty of concerns after a difficult run in 50-over cricket. Having managed just a single victory in their previous five ODIs, the team will view this series as an important step in trying new combinations and identifying long-term options ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup. With senior fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah unavailable for the series, the responsibility will shift to a younger bowling unit.

On the other hand, the visitors are unbeaten across their last five ODI outings and will aim to carry that confidence into a challenging away contest. Led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, the side will also treat this series as a valuable opportunity to gain familiarity with Indian conditions, especially with India expected to serve as Afghanistan’s base for international cricket in the coming years.
