Indian fans will be praying for an Afghan win and many got creative on social media with a bunch of memes. They are hilarious and relatable as they reflect the mood of the fans. Check them out:
India’s campaign started off badly when they lost to Pakistan and New Zealand in their 1st 2 games. They bounced back with wins over Afghanistan and Scotland and play Namibia next on November 8. If New Zealand win vs Afghanistan, then they are out of the semis race.

Pakistan have already made it to the semis and have one game left vs Scotland. From the other group England and Australia have sealed their spots in the final four while South Africa lost out on net run rate. Something similar could happen in this group too if India, New Zealand and Afghanistan finish on 6 points.
