World No. 1 ODI team India will face Afghanistan in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series on Wednesday (June 17). The must-win encounter for the visitors is set to take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. India won the rain-affected series opener in Dharamsala on Saturday (June 13) by seven wickets, and the hosts will be eager to deliver another strong performance in second match to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the first-ever bilateral ODI series between the two teams.
In the series opener at the HPCA Stadium, Rahmanullah Gurbaz impressed with the bat, but the rest of Afghanistan’s batting lineup failed to make a significant impact. The visitors will be hoping for a much-improved
performance in the second ODI as they look to register their first-ever international victory over India and keep the series alive.
Meanwhile, the Indian team management and fans will be expecting a strong showing from Rohit Sharma, who was dismissed in an unfortunate manner in the first match after scoring 16 runs off 16 balls.
