Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report

It goes without saying that the Chinnaswamy pitch has been very kind to the batters over the years. We expect nothing short of a run-scoring extravaganza in the final T20I, with the shorter boundaries on offer. However, the pitch offers some assistance to the quicker bowlers, who can benefit from the extra bounce generated from the wicket.

Last result at the venue

The last T20I in Bangalore took place between India and Australia last month. The hosts came out victorious, as they defended a total of just 160 runs. India claimed the victory by just six runs, to win the five-match series, 4-1.

Who will win 3rd T20I between India and Afghanistan?

Team India have been dominant in the previous two T20Is. The hosts were in a spot of bother in the second T20I, but the duo of Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted magnificently.
The hosts will be tempted to test their bench strength, however, they are still the certain favorites to win this fixture.
Afghanistan have managed to pick early wickets, however, they have been unable to break into India’s middle order this series. The visitors will have to keep tabs on India’s scoring through the middle overs.

What are IND vs AFG Fantasy Tips?

Virat Kohli is playing on a ground he is too familiar with. The Indian batter got off to a great start in the second T20I, before being dismissed for 29 runs. He will look to score big in front of his home fans.
Rohit Sharma is yet to open the scoring in the series. He was run-out in the first T20I without facing even a ball, whereas, he was dismissed for a golden duck in the second T20I. He is more or less poised to get a big score on this batting paradise in Bangalore.
Shivam Dube and Axar Patel have been standout players for the hosts so far. The duo have contributed with both bat and ball.
