IND vs AFG Match Prediction — Who Will Win 1st ODI? India vs Afghanistan

India will face Afghanistan in the first ODI of the Afghanistan tour of India 2026, scheduled for 13th June at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. India's focus shifts to the white ball after a dominant performance in the one-off Test at Mullanpur. They recently lost their last ODI series 1-2 against New Zealand and will now be eager to bounce back in this series. Indian star batter Virat Kohli and all-rounder Hardik Pandya are injured and unavailable for the series.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan enters this ODI series with confidence following a 3-0 victory over Bangladesh in their recent series. Although their batting line-up appears average, they boast solid all-rounders like Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, and Rashid Khan. Azmatullah Omarzai has been in excellent form, taking 24 wickets in his last ten matches.
