India vs Afghanistan, 3rd ODI Match 2026
India and Afghanistan will face off in the third and final ODI of the Afghanistan tour on June 20 at the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The day-night match will begin at 3:00 PM Bangladesh time. After India's dominant performance in the first two matches of the series, the hosts will be looking to end the series with a win in the final match as well, while Afghanistan will be fighting to save their honour.
India’s batting department is currently in great form. Captain Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan played a key role in the team’s huge win in the second ODI by putting on a record-breaking partnership. Gill’s consistent runs and experience in the middle order have boosted India’s confidence.
Afghanistan will be banking on opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz. His explosive century at the start of the series showed that Afghan batsmen have the ability to turn matches around even against big teams. However, the team’s bowlers will need to be more consistent if they are to challenge India.
The wicket at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai usually favours spinners. As the match progresses, more turns and slower bounces can be seen. As a result, the spinners of both teams can play a major role in determining the outcome of the match. The team batting first can get an additional advantage by winning the toss.
