Afghanistan skipper Mohammad Nabi won the toss and opted to field against India in their last Asia Cup Super 4 match on Thursday, at Dubai International Stadium. In today’s match, Rohit Sharma has been rested and KL Rahul will be leading Team India. Both the teams will be playing for respect as they lost their respective chances of making it into the final of the tournament, which is to be played on Sunday. India and Afghanistan lost their first two Super 4 matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and will look to register a win before bowing out. (Live Scorecard)
