Afghanistan vs India 2026, 3rd T20I: Toss Result and Playing 11s for Today’s Match, Umpires List and Pitch Report
Afghanistan will chase India’s 3-0 series sweep after falling behind 2-0 in Delhi, where the visitors have yet to beat India in 12 T20Is.
- On Thursday, Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field against India in the 3rd T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, seeking to avoid a series sweep.
- India enters the match with an unassailable 2-0 lead after dominating the series with clinical seven-wicket victories in both previous matches, chasing targets of 157 and 160.
- Afghanistan's batting has struggled throughout the series; Rahmanullah Gurbaz recorded consecutive ducks and team totals of 156/8 and 159/8 proved insufficient against India's attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
- Azmatullah Omarzai scored a resilient 64 in the opener, while Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan added a 48-run partnership in game two, though individual efforts proved insufficient against India's clinical bowling attack.
- The match will be broadcast on Sony Sports Network and FanCode, as captain Ibrahim Zadran's squad seeks to salvage pride by registering their first T20I victory over India in 12 attempts.
