India will take the field in the 3rd ODI against Afghanistan with the series already in their hands and will now aim to complete a dominant whitewash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. For Afghanistan, the final game offers one last chance to put together a stronger performance and avoid returning home empty-handed.

The second ODI in Lucknow heavily favoured the hosts after Afghanistan elected to bowl first. India’s top order made full use of the conditions and built a massive total of 402 runs in 49.5 overs. Captain Shubman Gill led from the front with a superb 154-run knock, while Ishan Kishan added an impressive 125 and formed a match-defining partnership with the skipper.

Their stand completely shifted the momentum and left Afghanistan with a difficult chase. In response, the visitors struggled to keep up with the required rate and kept losing wickets at regular intervals before being bowled out for 232 in 44.3 overs. India wrapped up a comfortable 170-run victory and secured the series 2-0. The Indian skipper will be the most reliable fantasy pick for this clash, as per our IND vs AFG Dream11 prediction.
