India and Afghanistan Revisit Their 2024 T20 World Cup Clash
India and Afghanistan are set to play three T20 cricket matches in New Delhi.
They last met in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
India batted first and scored 181 runs for eight wickets.
Suryakumar Yadav was India's top scorer with 53 runs.
Afghanistan struggled while chasing the target.
Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh each took three wickets.
Afghanistan were all out for 134 runs, giving India a 47-run win.
