Afghanistan lost their last match, against the West Indies, by 108 runs. The 218-5 they conceded was the highest total of the first stage of this T20 World Cup, and the most runs Afghanistan have conceded since 2013. The fourth over of the innings, bowled by Azmatullah Omarzai, went for a joint-record 36 runs.

This may be encouraging news for India’s batsmen. So far, this tournament, India’s wins have been on the back of fine performances by their bowlers. Their batting has yet to fire. Virat Kohli has had a particularly lean time – he has faced nine balls and been dismissed three times.

This is the furthest Afghanistan have got in a cricket tournament. They have played India 13 times across all formats and never won. Here's how to watch every ball of the Afghanistan vs India T20 World Cup match live stream from anywhere.
