India seal 3-0 ODI sweep over Afghanistan

India won by 9 wickets with 128 balls remaining, and Prasidh Krishna’s five-wicket spell set up another commanding result as they completed a 3-0 ODI series sweep over Afghanistan in the Afghanistan tour of India 2026. Yashasvi Jaiswal then carried the chase with 110, guiding India to 224/1 in just 28.4 overs after Afghanistan were dismissed for 218.

The result extended India’s control of the ODI leg of the tour and closed out the four-match itinerary, which had already seen India win the one-off Test by an innings and 300 runs before taking the first two ODIs by seven wickets and 170 runs. With this victory in Match 4, India finished the ODI series 3-0.

Afghanistan’s 218 owed a great deal to Hashmatullah Shahidi, who made 102, and Azmatullah Omarzai, who added 50 in the middle order. Mohammad Nabi contributed 21, but Afghanistan never fully broke clear of India’s bowlers. Prasidh Krishna led the effort with 5 wickets, while Prince Yadav and Harsh Dubey picked up 1 wicket each among the returns listed.

Shahidi’s century gave Afghanistan a platform and ensured they had something to work with, but India’s attack kept pulling things back at key moments. Once the innings ended at 44.2 overs, the target looked within reach on a surface India handled with assurance.

In reply, India were decisive from the outset. Yashasvi Jaiswal led all scorers with 110, while Rohit Sharma made 79 and helped shape the chase through a stand that removed most of the uncertainty from the contest. By the time Shreyas Iyer added 20 in the closing stages, India were well in front and moved to 224/1 with plenty to spare.

Afghanistan’s bowlers found little reward. Mohammad Nabi claimed the only wicket of the innings with 1 wicket, while Azmatullah Omarzai returned 0/18 from 1.0 over, Ziaur Rahman had 0/3 from 1.0 over, and Fareed Ahmad finished with 0/8 from 1.0 over as India outpaced the target comfortably.
