The Asian Games 2026 Men's cricket competition has reached its business end, as the higher seeds, including India, enter the tournament. They will take on Afghanistan in the Quarter-Final in Nisshin on September 28 at 10: 30 AM (IST).

In the lead-up to the game, India played a crackerjack contest against Japan as a preparatory event and won the match by 2 runs. Afghanistan were part of Group A in the first phase of the Asian Games, and they won against Japan and lost to Nepal to finish second and get pitted against India in the first knockout match.

This will be India and Afghanistan's 8th international meeting in 2026, and as the two sides look to book their spot in the final four, we take a look at their head-to-head records.

Conclusion

Lopsided is an understatement when we talk about the head-to-head records between India and Afghanistan — not just in T20Is but in general.

While Afghanistan have managed to trouble every opponent in recent years, they have failed to replicate these performances against the Asian giants, having failed to pick up any wins at all.

Nonetheless, T20I cricket is the format where they are relatively close to India, and the Asian Games 2026 quarter-final is a great opportunity for the Afghans to potentially cause an upset and end their win drought against India.
