Asia Cup 2018, Rayudu, Rahul


In todays match of Asia Cup 2018, Rohit Sharma&rsquo;s India will take on ever improving Afghanistan led by Asghar Afghan in their last Super Four encounter at Dubai International Stadium in United Arab Emirates. India are already through to the final of the multination tournament after recording wins against Pakistan and Bangladesh, while Afghanistan are out after successive losses against the same teams. Afghanistan have been really unlucky in the Super Four stage of the tournament, losing both matches in the very last over. The spin trio &ndash; Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan -- of Afghanistan held the opposition in every game and didn&rsquo;t allow the opposition to score in excess of 250. They would be looking to get a win under their belt against a powerful India team before the tournament is over.<br />
