Afghanistan vs India T20I Series 2026
The first major assignment for India in September will be the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan.
Although Afghanistan are the designated hosts for the series, all three matches will be played in Delhi. The Arun Jaitley Stadium will therefore host three consecutive international matches involving India.
Afghanistan vs India 1st T20I
Date: September 13, 2026
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Format: T20I
We have already covered the opening match in detail. You can read our complete Afghanistan vs India 1st T20I Prediction 2026 for the match preview, possible playing combinations and prediction.
The first match will be important because it could immediately influence team combinations and momentum heading into the second and third T20Is.
Afghanistan vs India 2nd T20I
Date: September 15, 2026
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Format: T20I
The second T20I is scheduled just two days after the opening game.
This is likely to become a stronger search opportunity closer to the match, particularly once the result of the first T20I is known. Instead of publishing a prediction too far in advance, the match can be covered with updated team news, form, playing XI possibilities and series context closer to September 15.
Afghanistan vs India 3rd T20I
Date: September 17, 2026
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Format: T20I
The third and final match could potentially decide the series.
If either team enters the match with the series still open, searches around the match prediction, playing XI, pitch report and live updates could increase significantly.
The complete three-match series is scheduled from September 13 to September 17 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
India vs West Indies ODI Series 2026
After the Afghanistan T20I series, India will begin their home ODI series against West Indies.
The BCCI has announced a three-match ODI series followed by five T20Is as part of India’s 2026–27 international home season. The ODI series begins on September 27.
India vs West Indies 1st ODI
Date: September 27, 2026
Venue: Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram
Format: ODI
This will be India’s first ODI of the West Indies series and the beginning of another major home assignment.
The first ODI will also provide a fresh opportunity for match-focused coverage, including:
- Match prediction
- Probable playing XI
- Pitch report
- Team news
- Head-to-head discussion
- Live match updates
India vs West Indies 2nd ODI
Date: September 30, 2026
Venue: Guwahati
Format: ODI
The second ODI follows three days later.
Depending on the result of the opening match, this could become either a series-deciding contest or an opportunity for one of the teams to level the series.
India vs West Indies 3rd ODI
The final ODI is scheduled for October 3 in New Chandigarh, meaning the series continues immediately into October.
The officially announced ODI venues are Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati and New Chandigarh.
India at the Asian Games 2026
India are also scheduled to have Asian Games cricket commitments during September.
The current schedule lists India in a quarter-final fixture on September 28 at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, although the opposition is yet to be determined.
This makes September particularly interesting because Indian cricket coverage could involve different squads and overlapping competitions.
As the tournament progresses, match-specific articles can be created around confirmed opponents rather than publishing speculative predictions before the fixture is known.
Which India Matches Should Cricket Fans Watch?
September offers several different types of cricket action.
For T20 cricket fans
The Afghanistan vs India series in Delhi will be the first major focus.
All three matches are scheduled at the same venue, making pitch conditions and team combinations particularly interesting throughout the series.
For ODI cricket fans
The India vs West Indies series begins on September 27.
The ODI matches will be followed by a five-match T20I series in October, extending India’s home cricket season.
For fans following Indian cricket tournaments
The Asian Games cricket competition adds another dimension to India’s September schedule.
Once the fixtures and opponents are confirmed, individual match previews and predictions can provide more specific coverage.
