India and Afghanistan will meet at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday for the third and final game of the three-match T20I series. The home side, who already clinched the series with comprehensive wins in the first two matches, will aim to whitewash with another strong performance.
Afghanistan are yet to win a T20 against India and the steak looks set to continue. A few changes can be expected in the Indian line-up, including the inclusion of wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson.
