Afghanistan endured a disappointing performance in the previous match against India. Batting first, they managed only 156 runs, and India comfortably chased the target in just 13.4 overs to register a dominant seven-wicket victory.
Afghanistan’s top order struggled to provide a solid start, with most of the batters failing to convert their starts into meaningful scores. However, Azmatullah Omarzai anchored the innings brilliantly with 64 runs off 44 balls, while Mohammad Nabi contributed a valuable 33 off 27 deliveries to help Afghanistan post a competitive total.
The bowling attack also failed to make an impact despite defending a low score. Although Afghanistan dismissed Sanju Samson early, they were unable to maintain pressure as the Indian batters made crucial partnerships. Nabi was the standout performer with the ball, finishing with 2 wickets for 28 runs in his three-over spell.
Despite the defeat, Afghanistan will expect a good performance from Ibrahim Zadran, who scored 378 runs at an average of 54 with a strike rate above 135. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has also impressed, scoring 305 runs in his last nine matches at a strike rate exceeding 153.
In the bowling department, Azmatullah Omarzai and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have been Afghanistan's most reliable wicket-takers, claiming 12 wickets each in their last seven matches.

India have made a dominant start to the series, securing a convincing seven-wicket victory in the opening T20I. After restricting Afghanistan to 156 runs, the hosts chased the target comfortably to take a 1-0 lead.
While chasing 157, India lost an early wicket, but Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan took complete control of the innings. Abhishek smashed a brilliant 82 off just 32 balls at a strike rate of over 256, while Ishan provided excellent support with a composed 42 from 33 deliveries.
The bowlers were equally impressive, preventing Afghanistan’s top order from building any momentum. Jasprit Bumrah gave an early breakthrough in the first over itself, and Arshdeep Singh was the standout performer with figures of 3/19 in four overs. Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, and Bumrah picked up a wicket each.
India’s batting looks strong heading into the second game. Ishan Kishan has scored 321 runs in his last 10 T20S at a strike rate of 140, while skipper Shreyas Iyer has scored 316 runs at a strike rate of 150. Arshdeep Singh also remains a key threat after taking 9 wickets in his previous six matches.

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is traditionally known to be a batting-friendly surface. The flat and firm nature of the wicket early in the match allows batters to play their shots freely and score good runs. However, as the game progresses, spinners can get some assistance in the middle overs. The fast outfield and relatively short boundaries definitely provide scoring opportunities for batters. The average first-innings score at this venue stands at around 171, indicating the potential for a high-scoring game.
The conditions at this venue generally favour teams bowling first, as chasing targets has been easy here. Therefore, the captain winning the toss is expected to choose to bowl first.
India enter this match as the clear favourites after their dominant seven-wicket win in the series opener. Their batting looks explosive, the bowling attack is well-balanced, and they also have the advantage of familiar home conditions in Delhi. On the other hand, Afghanistan have the talent to challenge, but their top order must deliver a much stronger performance to compete with India. If they improve a bit in both the batting and bowling departments, Afghanistan certainly has the ability to pose an excellent challenge for Team India.
