IND vs AFG Live streaming details, where & how to watch the 1st T20I of India’s tour of Afghanistan 2026
Afghanistan are still searching for their first win against India in T20Is as they enter the IND vs AFG T20I series ahead of the 2026 Asian Games.
India and Afghanistan are set to rekindle their T20I contest as the first game of the three-match series takes place in New Delhi. This series holds particular significance for both sides, as India aim to prepare for the Asian Games, while Afghanistan will gain valuable experience by facing the current World T20I champions. The first T20I match is scheduled to take place on September 13th at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The rivalry between the two sides in the shortest format of the game has mostly been one-sided as far as results are concerned. In their nine T20I encounters, India have won eight games, while the ninth game did not produce a winner. The team from Afghanistan still lacks T20I victories against India despite posing a tough challenge on a few occasions with their strong spin bowling lineup.
There will also be many individual stories of interest for fans to follow. India’s skipper Shreyas Iyer will face Afghanistan’s captain Ibrahim Zadran. Rashid Khan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Jasprit Bumrah, and India’s upcoming batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are some of the players whose performances are expected to grab people’s attention.
