Bangladesh has a high chance of qualification, so for the sake of understanding the schedule easily, we are considering them as the last team of Super-8 for now.

India will play all its three matches at different venues
The positions of all the teams of Super-8 were decided by the ICC before the tournament started, so that fans do not face any problem in booking stadium tickets to support their favourite team. That is why as soon as India qualified for the Super-8, it was decided where and when the team's 3 matches would be held.

Team India will take on Afghanistan in Barbados on June 20. Both spin and pace bowlers dominated the tournament here and the score was at a run rate of just 6.9. India played 2 T20 matches here and the team did not win even one. 

However, the team has not lost a single T20 match against Afghanistan so far.
Team India will play against Bangladesh in Antigua on 22 June . 

Here the pacers dominated and the average score could reach only 91. The chasing teams were successful in 75% of the matches. India will play in Antigua for the first time. However, the good thing for India is that the team has won 12 out of 13 T20 matches against Bangladesh.
Team India will clash against Australia in St. Lucia on 24 June. 

Here only a match could be played between Australia and Scotland, in which Scotland scored 180 runs, but Australia achieved the target. Here India played 3 T-20s, won 2 and lost one. Team India has won 19 out of 31 T-20s against Australia. That means this match can prove to be the most challenging for India in Super-8.
