IND vs AFG Live streaming details, when & where to watch 2nd ODI of Afghanistan's tour of India

The IND vs AFG second ODI will be played in Lucknow on June 17.
Indian Cricket Team will look to seal the three-match ODI series when they take on Afghanistan in the second ODI at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday. The hosts are leading the series 1-0 after a seven-wicket win in the rain-affected opener in Dharamsala.
The first ODI was reduced to 25 overs per side after rain interruptions. Afghanistan were bowled out for 194, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring a century, while India chased down the target with seven wickets in hand. Shubman Gill anchored the chase and helped India take an early advantage in the series.
All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma, who featured in the series opener after recovering from the hamstring injury that had sidelined him for a few games in IPL 2026. During his brief stay at the crease, Rohit crossed 16,000 international runs as an opener, becoming only the second Indian after Virender Sehwag to reach the milestone.
For Afghanistan, the second ODI presents an opportunity to level the series and keep the contest alive heading into the final game in Chennai. The visitors were competitive in phases during the first ODI, largely due to Gurbaz’s century, but will need stronger support from the middle order and bowling unit if they are to challenge India in Lucknow.
