High-Stakes Knockout Showdown in Japan
The 2nd Quarter-Final headlines Monday's afternoon schedule in Aichi, where a victory secures passage to Wednesday's medal-deciding semi-finals while the loser is eliminated.

For India, skippered by experienced middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer with Tilak Varma as vice-captain, entering the tournament as top seeds brings immense expectations. Having received a direct bye into the quarter-finals alongside Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, India deploy a world-class squad packed with international stars. Powered by dynamic match-winners-including Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah-India aim to assert early control under afternoon skies.

For Afghanistan, captained by middle-order batter Darwish Rasooli, rebounding quickly after a 5-wicket defeat against Nepal on Friday is essential. Having earned quarter-final qualification by defeating hosts Japan in their opener, Afghanistan look to unleash their slow-bowling unit against India's explosive batting lineup. Driven by key contributors-including Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Mohammad Ishaq, Nangeyalia Kharote, Arab Gul Momand, and fast bowler Faridoon Dawoodzai-Afghanistan seek a monumental knockout upset.
