Afghanistan vs India 1st T20I Live Streaming: When, where and how to watch AFG vs IND live on TV and online

September 13, 2026

New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium will host the opening clash of the three-fixture Friendship Cup between India and Afghanistan on Saturday, September 13. While the matches occur in the Indian capital, Afghanistan serves as the official host due to lacking a permanent home venue, having previously staged fixtures in Lucknow, Greater Noida, and Dehradun.

The Indian squad, led by Shreyas Iyer, is utilizing this bilateral engagement to prepare for defending their title at the Asian Games in Japan. Historical records heavily favor the designated visitors, who remain undefeated against their opponents across nine past encounters, recording eight victories alongside a single no-result.

Afghanistan enters the competition seeking their first triumph of their second trip to India this summer, after earlier dropping a solitary Test match and all three one-day fixtures.

The contest marks the return of Sanju Samson following his absence from the Zimbabwe tour, while Jasprit Bumrah rejoins the lineup after overcoming a knee injury incurred during the England one-day series. Afghanistan is captained by Ibrahim Zadran, with both sides boasting deep rosters featuring talent such as Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and Rashid Khan.

The coin toss is slated for 6:30 PM IST ahead of the 7:00 PM IST start time. Viewers can watch the television broadcast across Sony Sports Ten 3 and Sony Sports Ten 4, with digital streaming provided via the FanCode platform.
