India will square off against Afghanistan in the second ODI at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, on Wednesday. The home team took a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the opener by seven wickets at Dharamshala.
India was impressive in the opening game with both bat and ball, whereas Afghanistan would look to come up with a more collective effort. Shubman Gill was able to lead from the front, and his 84-run knock would have given him a lot of confidence.
