Afghanistan is coming off a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka using the DLS method in their second warm-up game in Guwahati. Meanwhile, their first game against South Africa in Thiruvananthapuram was abandoned due to persistent rain. Moreover, Afghanistan has had a terrible campaign in the 2023 Asia Cup, having lost to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the group stage to get eliminated from the tournament.

Pitch report
The pitches at the HPCA Stadium generally favour the bowlers. The wickets at the black soil pitches will produce true bounce. The last ODI played at this venue is proof that the HPCA's tracks are beneficial for medium pacers. The team chasing has had more success compared to the teams batting first as per the total of four ODIs played at this venue.
