India has really taken control of Afghanistan in One-Day Internationals. The two sides, including the present ones in the bilateral series, have played a total of four times in ODIs. The best-known match between the two teams was their meeting in the 2018 Asia Cup when Afghanistan forced a tie, thereby stunning India. Yet, the Afghans haven't yet got their first win against the Men in Blue in an ODI.
IND vs AFG: India eyeing their fourth win against Afghanistan?
Though Afghanistan have emerged as a competitive side in white-ball cricket, India has a history that heavily favours them. Considering the home advantage, stronger batting lineup and the better overall record in One Day Internationals (ODI), India will be the favourites for the match. Still, Afghanistan's spin trio, in particular Rashid Khan, still have the ability to trouble the batsmen if the pitch helps their style of bowling. India will be hoping to continue their winning streak in ODIs against Afghanistan and, at the same time, get off to a winning start in the series.
