Afghanistan, despite a fighting 156/8 led by Azmatullah Omarzai's 64 and Mohammad Nabi's 33, were unable to defend the total as Abhishek and Ishan Kishan (42) knocked it down in 14 overs.

AFG vs IND — Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Pitch Report
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi has little grass cover, giving pacers some early movement with the new ball before leveling out into a good batting surface. Square boundaries are on the shorter side, so totals accumulate quickly during the powerplay, and spinners gain more traction as the pitch slows down during the middle overs. Dew is a major factor in night games here, making life difficult for the bowling team in the second innings.

AFG vs IND Toss Prediction
The captain who wins the toss is expected to bowl first again, as India did in the series opener. In recent games at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, dew in the evening session has made batting second a safer option.
Prediction: India to win the toss and opt to bowl first.

AFG vs IND Captain & Vice-Captain Picks — 2nd T20I
- Abhishek Sharma (C): Fresh off a match-winning 82 off just 32 balls, Abhishek is red-hot on this ground and the clear top captaincy pick again on the same short-boundary Delhi surface.
- Azmatullah Omarzai (C): The standout Afghan performer from the 1st T20I, his all-round output makes him the top differential captaincy option from the AFG camp.
- Ibrahim Zadran (VC): Despite a quiet outing in the opener, Afghanistan's captain remains their most consistent T20I batter and offers a safer floor pick for balanced teams.
- Arshdeep Singh (VC): The pick of India's bowlers in the series opener, Arshdeep is a strong vice-captain option if you expect another bowling-friendly phase with the new ball.

Afghanistan vs India Match Prediction – Who Will Win
India enters the second T20I with all of the momentum after an impressive 7-wicket win in their opener, and with Abhishek Sharma in such good form, a Delhi surface that allows for quick runs plays straight into their hands. Afghanistan will need a much sharper performance with both bat and ball — Azmatullah Omarzai's battling 64 was one of the few bright spots in the first game — and a fully fit Rashid Khan will be critical if they are to hold India back. Given India's greater depth and the stress of an already must-win match for Afghanistan, the Men in Blue remain strong favorites to win the Series.
Prediction: India (IND) to win.
