India vs Afghanistan 3rd ODI Updates

Hello everyone, and welcome to the live blog for the India vs Afghanistan 3rd ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

India arrive at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai with an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series against Afghanistan, having demolished their opponents in both Dharamsala and Lucknow. A clean sweep against a side they have never lost to in ODI cricket awaits if Shubman Gill’s team can deliver a third consecutive performance of authority.

The 2nd ODI in Lucknow set the tone for what this series has looked like in full flow. Gill scored 154 off 110 balls, Ishan Kishan continued his remarkable comeback with 125 off 79, and India posted 402 before dismissing Afghanistan for 232 in 44.3 overs. The 170-run margin was emphatic and left little doubt about the gulf in class between the two sides at this stage. 

Chepauk is a different proposition, though. The surface at MA Chidambaram historically assists spinners and can offer uneven bounce later in the game, which means Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan will enter this fixture with greater hope of influence than he found in either of the previous venues. India, meanwhile, has a squad with enough depth and variety to adapt to whatever the surface offers.

Toss: Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bat first.
