    What's the story

    India will look to wrap up the three-match series as they take on Afghanistan in the second T20I in Indore.

    The Men in Blue displayed a comprehensive show in the opener and walked away with a six-wicket triumph.

    While Axar Patel starred with the ball, Shivam Dube played a match-winning knock.

    Here are the pitch and weather reports for the second T20I.

    Pitch 

    How the pitch will behave?

    The Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore will host this duel on Sunday (January 14).

    The track here usually favors the batters as teams often rack up 180-plus totals here.

    Spinners are also expected to get some assistance in the middle overs.

    Meanwhile, the game has a start time of 7:00pm IST. The toss-winning skipper is expected to bowl first.

    Rain 

    Will rain play a part?

    Fortunately, rain is not likely to take any part in the second game.

    As per Accuweather, it will be a hazy evening in Indore.

    The temperature could hover around 16 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius. The humidity is expected to be around 59-78 percent.

    With the humidity being on the higher side, dew is all but likely to play a part.
