India vs. Afghanistan live win probability, score, chances of victory for 1st T20I in New Delhi

India and Afghanistan clash in their first T20I at New Delhi's Wankhede Stadium on September 13, 2021. Former India captain Shreyas Iyer leads the Indian squad for the series, which serves as a prelude to the Asian Games set to begin on September 24 in Japan. The management aims to fine-tune their squad composition before the event.

Despite India's recent struggles, including defeats to Ireland and England, their recent reintroduction of players like Jasprit Bumrah, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Washington Sundar has bolstered their chances. Shreyas Iyer's return injects new energy into the batting lineup. On the other hand, Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran is determined to become the first Afghan captain to defeat India in international cricket.

After India chose to bowl first following the toss, they dominated from the start, dismissing Afghanistan for just 59 runs within the powerplay. Afghanistan's middle order, already reeling under the pressure of losing their top order, struggled to make a notable impact. India's win probability stands at 75%, while Afghanistan's chances of victory are at 25%. Betting odds favor India at 1.10, while Afghanistan's odds are 6.60.
