AFG Vs IND Match Prediction: The Indian Cricket Team has dominated this series up to this point, defeating Afghanistan in the first two T20Is of this three game series comfortably, and thus winning the series. Now, with no hope of winning the trophy, the Afghans will play to salvage at least something out of this series defeat.
The Afghanistan Cricket Team had a strong showing in the 2026 T20 World Cup, but did not make it past the first round. They followed it up by being thrashed by India in a one-off test match, and then an ODI series defeat to the men in Blue.
The Afghans have since whitewashed Ireland in a T20I series, the same team that whitewashed India in the same format around the same time. They have now been comprehensively defeated by India int he first two games of this series.
As for the Indian Cricket Team, they became the first team to win back-to-back T20 World Cup titles earlier this year, while also becoming the first team to win the tournament thrice. Most recently, they lost the first game of this ongoing series.
Then came the IPL, where all the players of the Indian team played. The Sri Lankans then hosted Afghanistan for one Test match and three T20Is, winning them all comfortably. Then came the disastrous two T20Is against Ireland, both of which the Men in Blue lost, losing a match and then a series for the first time to the Irish.
A tour to India was next, where the Indians were thrashed 4-0 in a T20I series, then lost 2-1 in an ODI series. Then came a T20I series win over Zimbabwe, and a Test series victory over Sri Lanka right before this series. Now, they have won the first two games of this series.

AFG Vs IND 3rd T20I 2026 Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
While historically a little sticky wicket, in recent years, the conditions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium have been highly conducive to batting. The pitches are flat, with almost no support to bowlers, coupled with short boundaries, making it a batter’s haven. There might be a little something for the pacers here early in the innings. Overall, based on the progress of this competition so far, the tracks are expected to be quite balanced and competitive. The Arun Jaitley is usually a smaller ground. The square boundaries are generally around 60-62m in length, while the straight ones extend out to 68m, possibly 65m or more.
