Super 10 Group-1, WI Vs Afg and Group-2, Ind Vs Aus, Wt20 (Men)

Its Day-12 and in a few hours we will have our final contender for the Semi's. NZ, WI and Eng have already qualified for the Semi's and Its the Australia versus India game which is the decider for the final contender. Its a double header today, first WI takes on Afghanistan at VCA Stadium, Nagpur and later on its the big game, India Vs Australia at PCA Stadium, Mohali.

WI have won 3 on 3 and playing their last game of the tournament and its the last game for Afghanistan as well. Afghanistan has given mini heart attacks to England and SA, so lets see what do they have in store for WI. Its a spin friendly deck, SA was defeated here the last time they played against WI. But who knows what they have in box for WI ? We'll find out in a few minutes now. Shahzad will be the key for Afghanistan team,

WI Capt: Dareen Sammy
Afg Capt: Asghar Stanikzai

Moving on to game 2 of the day here, Its the decider for the fourth and final spot of Top-4
Australia are on a roll. They have already played one game at this venue and previous matches tells us why teams are opting to bat first on this wicket. Chasing gets tough on this ground with conditions favoring bowlers and with big boundaries, it is tough to clear the ropes here. Australia finally had showed their batting firepower in the last game posting 192 against Pakistan. They would not want to make a lot of changes in their squad.
India have their luck going with them, winning that match with 1 run. They would like to maintain their win streak against the aussies side as in 2016, Team India is undefeated against this side.

Australia will rely on finch and warner at the top of the order with Maxwell and Watson coming later on and Steve Smith will be the key for an aussie win today. India will again depend on Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. If they have to win against Australia then everyone will have to contribute. And fielding is the key today,
Adam Zampa has shown a lot of positives in this tournament and james faulkner took a fifer against Pakistan on this venue, so they will be the main breakers for them
Ind Capt: MS Dhoni
Aus Capt: Steve Smith
