  "account": "Afghanistan are about to make history as India faces them on Indian soil for the first time, with all three matches of the three-match series scheduled at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This series will take place just before the Asian Games, giving Afghanistan a final chance to settle their squad combinations. India enters the series with mixed white-ball form, failing to match their T20 World Cup champion status. The team faced setbacks after back-to-back T20I losses to Ireland and England, but recovered in Zimbabwe. Afghanistan, on the other hand, feels they have a point to prove after their successful away tour of India earlier this year, where they won the Test by 300 runs and swept the ODIs. The squads for the series include notable players for both teams, with India featuring Shreyas Iyer as captain and Afghanistan led by Ibrahim Zadran. The matches will be available live on Sony Sports and can be streamed on FanCode across various platforms, including mobile, web, and connected TVs. Fans can also watch the matches through FanCode’s distribution partners, such as Jio TV, Amazon Prime, and others.",
