IND vs AFG Pitch Report
The Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore offers a good surface for batting, but also assists the bowlers, especially the spinners, who have been successful in taking wickets in recent matches. However, the dew factor might come into play in the second inning, which will make it easier for the batsmen to score runs. The average score in Indore in T20I cricket is around 210 runs.
