The difference between a loss and a win is a fine line, and no team embodies that more than Afghanistan and India. Afghanistan set a target of 273 in the first session and the chase is on, so here's how you can follow the match live from anywhere, and for free, via VPN.

While individual moments doomed Afghanistan's opener against Bangladesh by six wickets, it was precisely these moments that saved India from defeat in their opening match against Australia.

Thanks to the heroics of Ravindra Jadeja in ball and Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in bat, the tournament hosts managed to beat Australia by the same margin. However, it was by no means an easy match, as three of the top four players exited with ducks.

Afghanistan's losing streak at the Cricket World Cup now stands at 13 matches, and local fans will be hoping for an easier match in Delhi. However, the Afghanistan team showed some promising moments and could have gone toe-to-toe with their opponents if only Hashmatullah Shahidi's team had not missed a catch.
