Afghanistan vs India , 2nd T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi , IND in AFG, 3 T20Is, 2026 , Sep 15, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Noor Ahmad, SIX! Noor dents Reddy's figures a bit as Afghanistan finish at 159/8! On a back of a length, angled into the batter with pace taken off. Noor uses the depth of the crease and swings it cleanly behind the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen runs to finish it off. 11 runs in the last over. And Nitish's figures read 3/24 in 3 overs.

19.5: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Attacks the leg stump, and slows the pace, 103 kph. Mujeeb Ur Rahman swipes the full ball to deep backward square leg for a single. This has been an exceptional final over from Nitish. Can he finish off well?

19.4: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Slower short ball, on top of middle and leg. Mujeeb Ur Rahman swats it to the left of Ishan Kishan at deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

19.3: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Noor Ahmad, 150 up for Afghanistan! Reddy digs it in short, on middle. Noor backs away and drags the pull to deep mid-wicket for a run.

19.2: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Slower length-delivery, on the leg stump. Mujeeb backs away and steers it to the cover region for a single.

19.1: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Rashid Khan, OUT! SPECTACULAR CATCH! Axar with a stunner and that's number three for Nitish. A slower delivery, full and outside off, and Rashid looks to hoick it away over the leg side. He can't middle it, and Axar, sprinting to his left from deep square leg, dives full-length to complete a smart catch. Good deception from Reddy, and remarkably, he has now struck with the first ball of each of his three overs today. India have been tidy in the field tonight. Afghanistan are 148/8, five balls left.

18.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Noor Ahmad, WOW! Some heat on that one! Delivers a well-executed yorker, just outside off, Noor swings his blade hard to carve it out but his bat comes down after the ball has sneaked through. Bumrah ends with frugal figures of 4-1-25-1.

18.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! CAUGHT BY THE CAPTAIN! Bumrah has the last laugh. He spears in a full-length delivery, around the off stump. Nabi stays leg side of the ball and tries to clear extra cover, but fails to get underneath the ball properly and ends up slicing it towards Shreyas Iyer. The captain at cover takes a straightforward catch to end Nabi's knock. Afghanistan are 148/7, with 7 legal balls left in the first innings.

18.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammad Nabi, Smell that leather, mate! Well-directed bouncer from Bumrah, angling on the leg stump. Mohammad Nabi shapes up to play the pull shot, but the excessive pace and bounce beats him all ends up.

18.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, So casually played by Rashid. Bumrah cannons in a yorker on middle and leg. Khan whips it to deep backward square leg for a single.

18.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammad Nabi, Slightly back of a length, at pace, 142 kph. Nabi waits deep inside the crease and smacks it to the left of long off for a single.

18.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Hammered away! Bumrah bowls it outside off, full in length, and takes all the pace off. Mohammad Nabi waits for this off-cutter to arrive, maintains his shape and lofts it over extra cover. One bounce and it goes into the fence.

17.6: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, SIX! PUNISHED! Juicy half-volley offered by Arshdeep, on off and middle. Rashid Khan comes dancing down the track and lofts it powerfully over deep extra cover for a six. He has made that shot look so easy. A massive over for the Afghans as 16 runs come off it.

17.5: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, FOUR! Expertly played! These are precious runs for Afghanistan. Arshdeep switches back to around the stump and misses his yorker again. It is the full toss speared in, and Rashid walks forward, takes it on the full before hammering it to the deep cover region. Beats the sweeper to his left for a boundary.

17.4: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, Trying to be adventurous there! Rashid shows his cards early by shuffling to the off side and, seeing that, Singh digs in a slower bouncer outside off. Rashid Khan looks to swing it over short fine leg, but the lack of pace does him in and he is beaten.

17.3: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, FOUR! Cleverly done! Angles in from outside off, on a length. Rashid stays put, opens the bat face deliberately at the point of contact and manages to pierce the narrow gap between short third and backward point for a boundary.

17.2: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, Oh, dear! That's a nasty delivery. Short and it absolutely cramps Rashid for room as the ball angles into the bodyline. He gets no time to sway away from the firing line. Takes his eyes off the ball by dropping his wrists, and the ball hits the handle of the bat before deflecting onto the helmet grill.

17.1: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, Around the stump, full toss on middle. Rashid Khan, with a cheeky little flick off the wrists, whips it to the left of deep backward square leg for a couple of runs.
