अफगानिस्तान vs भारत, दूसरा टी-20, अरुण जेटली स्टेडियम, दिल्ली, 15 September 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

Nervy single! The googly on a shorter length. Naib hangs back and knocks it to the cover region for a single, but they have to really hurry. The fielder moves quickly to his left, and Iyer releases a flat throw to the bowling end, but it looks like Naib has made it through. However, the umpires want to have a second look at it. The side-on replay shows that Naib's bat is grounded at the last minute when the bowler breaks the stumps.

OUT! STRAIGHT TO TILAK! Bishnoi has his arms aloft as he gets his first wicket. A googly now, and it is a length ball around the middle stump line. Atal goes back and tries to power it over the long off boundary, but gets it off the splice and doesn't time it well. Tilak, stationed at long off, settles underneath it and pouches the catch comfortably. A very scratchy knock from Atal, and Afghanistan have been reduced from 51/1 to 59/3.

 FOUR! Off the mark in an edgy way! On a lower trajectory, quicker through the air. Short and outside off. Darwish Rasooli rocks back to cut it away, but gets an underedge and the ball rifles through short third for a boundary.

Drags the length back, does Ravi, on off. Rasooli rocks back and punches it to the left of long on for a single.

Short on middle, at 101 kph. Gulbadin Naib uses the depth of the crease and whips it into the mid-wicket region. The fielder tears in from the ropes and by the time he throws it to the keeper, the batters scamper back for the second run.

At 91 kph, now, on the pads. Naib steers the length ball to deep square leg for a single. At the halfway stage of the first innings, Afghanistan are 67/3.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A well-judged catch by Sanju Samson. Nitish Kumar Reddy strikes with the first ball of the over for the second time in the game. Seam-up ball, skidding through, on a back of a length, on middle. Naib takes the risk of going across the line and pays the price. He clears the front leg and has a swipe at the ball. It is skied a long way up off a top edge. Sanju Samson calls for it and moves forward to settle under the swirling ball. He puts in a dive at the last moment to take the catch safely. 

Reddy digs it in short, outside off. Azmat flashes at the ball but is beaten for pace.

FOUR! A shot of high quality. This is on a hard length, on off. Omarzai rises on his toes and rides the bounce. Presents a straight bat and with a high elbow, he punches it between cover and mid off. The mid off fielder gives chase but the ball skips across the turf and hugs the fence.

On off, on a short of a length, that is punched off the back foot to long on for a single.

Angled in, on middle, on a back of a length. Rasooli tucks it in front of deep mid-wicket and rotates the strike.

In the channel, on a good length at 129 kph, Azmat punches it well but picks out the cover fielder.

A bit of grip and turn. Short and on off, bowled slower through the air. Rasooli hops back to punch it down the deck. Axar Patel dives to his left to make the stop.

Fractionally short, on off. Rasooli makes room and cuts it to deep point. They cross.

Tossed up, on middle. Omarzai makes room and crunches it straight to cover.

This stops a bit in the surface, on a nagging length, on middle, Omarzai tries to deal with it off the back foot but then checks his shot as he plays it back to Axar.

DROPPED! Azmatullah Omarzai gets a reprieve. The length is pushed up now, on off. Omarzai makes room to open up the off side but ends up hitting it a lot straighter down towards long off. Ravi Bishnoi comes charging in off the ropes and slides but the ball hits him high on the palm and drops to the ground. A single taken. How costly will this prove to be?

Shorter and on middle. Darwish whips it to deep mid-wicket and takes a single.

SIX! Sent into the crowd! Dube goes into the deck but this sits up to be hit at waist height, on off. Rasooli stands tall and unleashes the pull in front of square on the leg side. That has gone back many a mile.

Keeping it away from the batter's arc, on a back of a length. Darwish slaps it to deep point and gets to the other end.

On off, on a short of a length. Azmat swats it on the bounce to deep mid-wicket, where Axar Patel collects it on the bounce. Just a single.

Takes pace off, keeping it near the tramline, on the shorter side. Rasooli tries to cash in on the width but mistimes the shot to extra cover.

Stays away from the batter's arc, on a back of a length. Darwish spanks it wide of extra cover and sets off for a quick single. The extra cover fielder moves to his left but cannot pick the ball up cleanly, allowing the batters to get home easily.

FOUR! Straight as an arrow! Dube shifts his line closer to the off stump, on a length, it is the slower one. Omarzai swings through the line as he slams it back over the bowler's head. Neither long off nor long on stands a chance.

SIX! Hammered! Another over started with a maximum by Darwish Rasooli. Flighted up, on middle, a bit too full. Rasooli puts his head down and presses forward to thump it over long on for a six.

Flatter and sliding on with the arm, on middle and leg. Darwish presses back to whip it away. Gets it off the inner half in front of square on the leg side. They think about the second run but Axar hunts it down himself and keeps it down to a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Tilak Varma makes no mistake. Axar Patel finally gets his man. This is slowed down, a bit of air given, fuller and on middle and leg. Omarzai clears the front leg and has a swing at it but he does so early. There is a bit of grip and turn and the ball catches the toe end of the blade. As a result, Azmat only gets the height and not the distance. It is skied a long way up towards long on, where Tilak Varma settles under the skier and takes the catch close to his chest.

On a length, on off. Nabi lunges across and eases it wide of cover for a single.

Shorter and quicker, on off and middle. Rasooli taps it to cover.

Good hustle between the wickets. Short and wide on off, Rasooli stands tall and powers it away past extra cover. Nitish Kumar Reddy is quick across the turf to his right at deep cover and he dives to push the ball away from the fence. He gets back up on his feet and tidies up. Three runs taken and with that, the 100 is up for Afghanistan.

OUT! CAUGHT!

1 run, the batter goes deep in the crease and guides it through third man for a single.
