T20 World Cup: As India take on Afghanistan, flashback to a World Cup 2019 thriller

T20 World Cup: As history reckons, Afghanistan will not be an easy opponent and Virat Kohli-led India will have to battle out a feisty Afghan unit to bring their listless campaign back on track in the Super 12 encounter.

India are in a desperate situation as they get ready to take on spirited Afghanistan in a must-win Super 12 Group 2 encounter in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. India's T20 World Cup campaign has been derailed after two crushing defeats against Pakistan and New Zealand.

Now as fate would have it, India must win all three matches against Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia and then depend on the results of other teams to stand any chance of qualifying for the T20 World Cup semi-final.
