IND vs AFG live streaming today: On September 17, Afghanistan (AFG) will face India (IND) in the third and final T20I match of Afghanistan's tour of India (2026) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Let us take a look at the live coverage of today's match.
India has already clinched the series by winning the first two matches, but Afghanistan still has a chance to end the series on a winning note. Since all three matches are being played at the same venue, both teams will enter the final match with a good understanding of the conditions and the ground.
India delivered an excellent performance in the second T20I as well. After deciding to bowl first, India restricted Afghanistan to 159/8 in 20 overs; key contributions came from Ibrahim Zadran (37 off 33 balls), Darwish Rasooli (26 off 15 balls), Mohammad Nabi (20 off 14 balls), and Rashid Khan (28 off 16 balls). Nitish Kumar Reddy was the standout bowler for India, recording figures of 3/24, while Arshdeep Singh claimed 2/35. Subsequently, India chased down the target, scoring 163/3 in just 14.5 overs. Sanju Samson played a blistering knock of 57 off 22 balls—featuring seven fours and four sixes—while Abhishek Sharma scored 39 off 19 balls, and Ishan Kishan remained unbeaten on 38 off 23 balls. Although Rashid Khan claimed all three of India's wickets and finished with figures of 3/36, India still secured a seven-wicket victory.
Afghanistan once again failed to gain momentum during the powerplay, managing only 41 runs in the first six overs; despite a better showing from the middle order, they could not post a particularly challenging total. Even though he took three wickets, Rashid remains a major threat, but Afghanistan will need to put up a much better batting performance to prevent India from completing a clean sweep.
