India's Unwavering Dominance Over Afghanistan

India have maintained a commanding record against Afghanistan in T20I cricket, winning nine of the 11 encounters between the two sides so far.

Afghanistan is still waiting for their first-ever T20I victory over the Men in Blue.

The current series has added to Afghanistan’s struggles in the head-to-head battle. India claimed victories in both of the opening two matches, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead.

With another defeat in the finale set to result in a 3-0 clean sweep, Afghanistan will be determined to produce a much-improved performance in the third T20I.

The visitors, who are interestingly the 'hosts' for this series, will have to find answers to India’s consistency across departments while also managing the pressure of trying to break a long-standing winless run against their opponents.
