Afghanistan\u2019s national cricket team faces India today, Sunday, 13 September, in the opening match of their T20 tri-series. The game will begin at 6:30 p.m. Kabul time.<\/p>\n
The series will run until 17 September, with all three matches being held at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The second match is scheduled for 15 September and the third for 17 September.<\/p>\n
The matches are part of Afghanistan\u2019s upcoming cricket schedule in India, a country that in recent years has hosted a large share of the team\u2019s international fixtures. Because Afghanistan does not have the facilities to host matches domestically, it has played most of its home games in India and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
The importance of this tri-series lies in the fact that, according to sports sources, for the first time the Afghanistan Cricket Board has taken full responsibility for hosting a bilateral series against India. The event follows previous meetings between the two sides. Afghanistan and India played three T20 internationals in January 2024 and also faced each other in three One Day Internationals in June this year.<\/p>\n
With these matches, the two teams have now played against each other in all three international cricket formats, including Test, One Day International and T20. Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is one of India\u2019s best-known cricket grounds and will host all three matches in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
