Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and elected to bat first against India in their second World Cup game at Delhi today.

Afghanistan remain unchanged from the Bangladesh game while India have made one change from their last game against Australia, bringing in Shardul Thakur in place of spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

Shahidi said that it was a good for batting track and they wanted to put up a good score before testing India batters in the second half of the game. Rohit Sharma said at the toss that they would have batted second had they won the toss given that they noticed dew while training.

South Africa produced a mammoth 428-run total against Sri Lanka in the last game played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium at Delhi.
