AFG vs IND: Ground Pitch Report
The wicket in Delhi is pretty flat and is brilliant to bat on. It has consistent bounce and pace, which allows the batters to bat through the line. Some of the sixes in this series were of less than 65 metres, which makes it even tougher for the bowlers. All in all there is nothing much for the bowlers.

AFG vs IND: Player to Watch Out For
Probable Best Batter
