This will be India’s first T20 series against Afghanistan since the T20 World Cup. India will take the field under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer. After winning the T20 World Cup, India suffered defeats in T20I series against Ireland and England, while the team won its series against Zimbabwe.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, are also regarded as a strong T20 side. This will be their first T20 series since the T20 World Cup. Before this, Afghanistan had won their series against the West Indies.
The first T20I between India and Afghanistan will be played on Sunday, September 13, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The match will begin at 7 pm.
The live telecast of the India-Afghanistan first T20I will be available on the Sony Sports Network.
The match will be streamed live on the FanCode app. Fans will therefore be able to watch the match live on FanCode, rather than JioHotstar or Sony LIV.
India have won every T20 match they have played against Afghanistan so far. That record will add to the focus on Sunday’s opening clash in Delhi, with attention on whether Afghanistan can end India’s winning run or whether Team India, led by Shreyas Iyer, will maintain its dominance.
India’s squad comprises Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Varma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Varun Chakravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Yash Thakur.
Afghanistan’s squad comprises Ibrahim Zadran (captain), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicketkeeper), Noor Rahman (wicketkeeper), Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli, Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Nangyal Kharoti, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Abdullah Ahmadzai and Naveen-ul-Haq.
