#2 Afghanistan
Afghanistan has star spinner Rashid Khan in its ranks and it comes as no surpise that they depend on the spinners to make a big impact. He is at present the most difficult mystery spinner to read. Khan has immense experience from T20 leagues across the world and will be looking to lead the way with his variations.
Rashid Khan is ably supported by yet another mystery spinner in Mujeeb Ur Rahman and the old warhorse Mohammad Nabi. Mujeeb is excellent with the new ball and could be banked to drift the new ball. Mohammad Nabi is an experienced campaigner having played in 113 matches and taken 118 wickets at an excellent economy of 4.27 and will, without a shadow of doubt, be pipped to restrict the batters in the middle overs.
#1 India
India's spin attack is one of extremely high quality. Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are both wicket-taking options for India in the middle overs while Ravindra Jadeja's ability to inflict damage has made him one of the leading spin all-rounders in the sport.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have both stamped their authority with some commanding performances in ODI cricket and will have a massive role to play on pitches that could offer some turn. Jadeja, when given the chance could be expected to tighten the lid on the run scoring and pile pressure on the batsmen.
The combined efforts of the spin trio could be a major feature to watch out for from the Indian team.
