The scorecard at a glance

Innings	Score	Overs
India	221/7	20 overs
Afghanistan	94 all out	14.1 overs
Result	India won by 127 runs	—

The important relationship is between the two innings. India used the full 20 overs and reached 221, while Afghanistan’s chase ended with all ten wickets down in the 15th over. That makes this more than a close chase decided at the finish: the scorecard shows India controlling both the total and the length of Afghanistan’s reply.

Why Abhishek Sharma is the main scorecard story

Abhishek Sharma scored 108 from 34 balls. The ICC report records that he reached his century from 30 balls and hit 11 sixes. Sanju Samson also made 50.

The wording around the record matters. This was reported as the fastest T20I hundred by an Indian batter and the third-fastest T20I hundred overall at the time. It should not be shortened into the broader claim that it was the fastest century in every form of T20 cricket. The scorecard supports the narrower T20I record, with the Indian-batter qualification attached.

That distinction is useful because several searches around this match use phrases such as “fastest T20 century” and “fastest 100 in T20”. The verified match fact is more specific: Abhishek’s 30-ball hundred belongs to the T20I record context.

What Afghanistan’s 94 tells us

Afghanistan’s innings ended at 94, with Ravi Bishnoi taking 3/26 and Nitish Kumar Reddy taking 3/25, as reported by the ICC. Since the innings was completed in only 14.1 overs, wickets were central to the result, not merely a failure to match India’s scoring pace.

This is why the 127-run margin needs to be read alongside the dismissal count. India did not simply post a competitive total and wait for a late chase: Afghanistan were bowled out well before their allotted 20 overs.

Where this match sits in the series

The BCCI schedule listed three T20Is in Delhi from 13 to 17 September 2026. This was the third match, so the 127-run result also explains the final 3–0 series score rather than representing an isolated fixture.

The direct answer

For the India vs Afghanistan match scorecard: India 221/7 in 20 overs; Afghanistan 94 all out in 14.1 overs; India won by 127 runs. The defining individual performance was Abhishek Sharma’s 108 off 34 balls, including a 30-ball T20I century. The careful version of the record is “fastest T20I hundred by an Indian batter”, not an unrestricted fastest-century claim.
