India Seek Series Win Over Afghanistan in Second T20I Amid Bowling Concerns
India leads the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan 1-0 after a dominant seven-wicket win in the first match at New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. Key performances included Arshdeep Singh's three wickets and Abhishek Sharma's explosive 82 off 32 balls. India faces a challenge in finding a reliable fifth bowler due to injuries to Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakravarthy. Afghanistan must improve their batting and bowling to stay in the series. The second T20I is scheduled for September 15 in New Delhi, with live coverage available on Sony Sports Network and FanCode.
