CHENNAI, India (AP) --- Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat against
India in the third and final one-day cricket international on Saturday.
India has already clinched the series 2-0 after a 170-run win in the second
match at Lucknow and a seven-wicket victory in the rain-shortened first match
at Dharamshala.
Afghanistan made four changes --- veteran spin all-rounder Mohammad Nabi was
back into the playing side with batting all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. Pacers
Zia ur Rahman Sharifi and Fareed Ahmad Mallik were also included.
India made three changes --- Nitish Reddy is fit again, while pacer Prasidh
Krishna and left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey were also included.
It was the first ODI in Chennai since the 2023 Cricket World Cup. The pitch at
MA Chidambaram Stadium should aid batters on both sides with another
high-scoring game anticipated.
