- India have won each of their seven meetings with Afghanistan in men’s T20Is, including a super-over win in their most recent such clash (17 January 2024); in fact, among sides the Men in Blue are yet to lose against in the format, they have played more games against Ireland (P8 W8) only.
- Afghanistan lost their most recent men’s T20I by a 104-run margin (vs West Indies), putting an end to a three-game winning streak against full-member sides in the format; the last time the Afghans won more games on the bounce against full-member sides was a stretch of four games between March and June in 2022.
- India have won five of their last six matches in the Men’s T20 World Cup (L1), including winning their first three completed matches of the 2024 edition; the last time the Men in Blue went on a longer winning run in the competition was a stretch of five games between November 2021 and October 2022, a streak that started with a 66-run win against Afghanistan (3 November 2021).
- Afghanistan have won three of their four matches of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (L1) and are one win away from equaling their record for most wins in a single edition of the tournament (4 wins in 2016); in fact, the one loss they had this season is their lowest in a single edition of the competition.
- India have a bowling dot ball rate of 71.3% during the Powerplay phase (overs 0-6) of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest of all sides and almost 12 percentage points more than Afghanistan (59.7%); in fact, the Men in Blue have conceded a boundary once in every 15.4 deliveries during this phase, the slowest of all teams.
- Afghanistan have made five dismissals via a runout in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the most by any team and three more than India (2); four out of five of these runouts came in their group stage game against Papua New Guinea (13 June 2024).
- Rashid Khan (29 wickets) is one away from becoming the first Afghanistan bowler to record 30 wickets in the Men’s T20 World Cup; however, Khan has failed to pick up a wicket in each of his last two innings of the ongoing edition, after picking up six wickets over this first two games (2/12 vs Uganda & 4/17 vs New Zealand).
- Rohit Sharma (194 sixes) is six away from becoming the first batter to hit 200 boundary sixes in men’s T20Is; Sharma has hit 6+ sixes in an innings on five occasions, with one of them coming against Afghanistan earlier this year (8 sixes on 17 January 2024).
- Fazalhaq Farooqi has taken 40% of his team’s wickets in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest such share by any player among the Super 8 teams (min. 4 overs bowled) and joint second highest overall (Canada’s Dilon Heyliger – 41.7% & Oman’s Mehran Khan 40%).
- No player has made more successful catches in the ongoing edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup than India’s Rishabh Pant (seven catches); Rahmanullah Gurbaz (five catches) is Afghanistan’s best player in this category so far.
