अफगानिस्तान vs भारत, दूसरा टी-20, अरुण जेटली स्टेडियम, दिल्ली, 15 September 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

Looped up, on the pads. Iyer turns it to deep square leg for a single.

More air given, full and on off. Kishan hammers it back to the bowler. Noor makes a half-stop in his follow-through. It is parried to his left, where the mid-wicket fielder tidies up.

Missed out! Dragged down, around leg. Kishan goes hard on the pull but gets it off the gloves and it rolls to short fine leg.

Dropped short again, around leg. Kishan rocks back and pulls it to deep backward square leg for a single.

Googly now, on the shorter side, on middle. Shreyas waits back and nurdles it square on the leg side for another single.

Good effort in the field! Fractionally short, on middle. Kishan uses his feet and whips it away towards long on. Mohammad Nabi is quick to his left and dives to prevent the boundary, saving a couple of runs for his side.

Floats it full and on middle, Iyer leans on and drives it inside out to short cover.

SIX! Glorious hit! Serves a friendly half-volley, around the off stump, does Rashid. Shreyas takes a step forward and effortlessly hoists it over deep extra cover for a six. Rashid, too, admires that shot from the Indian captain.

Bowls it full and flat, on a length, Iyer knocks it hard to covers.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Fantastic reflexes from the Afghan skipper and Rashid has three wickets to his name. He dishes out a full ball, on the off stump line and gets a good bit of purchase off the track. The ball also shoots low off the surface as Shreyas shapes up to play the late cut, but only manages a thick outside edge. The ball goes low to the right of Ibrahim Zadran at first slip. Ibrahim is a bit late to react to take the catch around his right shin, and almost shells the catch, with the ball threatening to bobble out of his hands, but dives to his left and takes it on the second attempt. India are 123/3, needing 37 runs from 56 balls.

Short on the pads, tickled to the leg side for a single.

Spins in from around the stump, Ishan cuts the length ball wide of point for a single.

Flatter and fuller on the leg stump, sliding in. Ishan stands tall and clips it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Pushed through, full on middle and leg, Tilak leans on and works it to long on for a single.

Drags the length back, does Mujeeb, on off. Ishan tucks it across and down to long on for one more.

 Beaten! Spins away very sharply, short and outside off. Tilak is hurried by the pace and is beaten on the cut shot.

FOUR! Skilfully played by Varma! Mujeeb shortens the length, around the off stump, Tilak Varma picks the googly, transfers his weight onto the back foot and cuts it marvellously through backward point for a boundary.

Bowls it full on the pads, Tilak lunges and clips it wide of deep mid-wicket for a single. India need just 27 runs from 48 balls.

Farooqi is now introduced into the attack! Starts off with a pace off length ball, on off, Tilak pulls it off the back foot to deep square leg for a single.

Slower one again, into the pitch, on top of off. Ishan controls the pull shot along the ground towards deep backward square leg for one more.

At pace now, 133 kph, on a good length, on the leg stump. This is nudged off the back foot by Tilak and with soft hands, through mid-wicket. The fielder dashes in off the ropes and the batters pick up two quick runs. India need 25 runs to win!

Nagging length, outside off, Varma hangs back and punches it to the fielder at cover.

WIDE! Reload! Digs in a slower bumper, but it nips down the leg stump. Varma gets inside the line but misses to connect the pull shot. The ball bounces behind to Gurbaz.

Short of a length, on top of off. Tilak hops on the toes and tucks it to deep mid-wicket for an easy single.

Takes pace off and deceives Ishan completely. Short and jagging in off the pitch. Kishan swings to pull but he is early on the shot and gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball strikes him around his ribs and he winces in a bit of pain.

Off-break, a touch full on off, Tilak plays off the back foot and steers it to deep square leg for a single.

Short and quick, at 103 kph and outside off, Ishan backs away and hammers it to long off for a single.

Slows it up, on a fullish length, at 91 kph, on off. Tilak knocks it to long on for a run.

FOUR! Finds the gap! Very full from Mujeeb on this occasion, on middle and leg. Ishan sits down on a knee and powerfully sweeps it to the left of deep square leg for a cracking boundary.

 SIX! Sensational hit from Ishan! Sliding into the batter, full in length, Kishan skips down the track and sails it cleanly over long on for a huge six.

FOUR! Power followed by finesse! Mujeeb drags the length back, around off. Ishan waits for it on the back foot and cuts it late to thread the gap between short third and backward point for a boundary.  17 runs off the over. India need 4 more runs.

Full and on the pads. Tilak helps it wide of short fine leg and hurries to the other end.

Short and wide on off. Kishan frees his arms and slaps it to backward point, where the fielder gets low to make the stop but he fumbles and concedes a single. Rashid is not happy one bit.

Lovely bowling! Rashid switches to around the wicket and dishes out the googly, around off. Varma stays back to a full ball. He looks to defend but is squared up by the turn and is beaten past the outside edge.

Scores are now level! Tossed up, turning in, on middle. Varma lunges and reaches the pitch of the ball to flick it through mid-wicket. Half a shout for LBW from Rashid Khan, but it is turned down. The bat and the front leg seemed to be close to each other and Rashid feels that the ball hit the pad/toe first. Ibrahim Zadran takes a chance with the review. The third umpire does not even need UltraEdge, as the front-on replay shows that the front leg was away from the line of the ball, and the ball came right off the blade.

FOUR! A bit of a mishit, but that is enough to seal the deal. India win by 7 wickets and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in this three-match series. Serves the googly, does Rashid, and it is bowled from well behind the stumps, full and on off. Kishan presses forward and has a swing at it. The ball spins away, and Kishan ends up slicing it off the outer half. He clears the man at extra cover, and the ball trickles into the fence.
