IND A vs AFG A LIVE Score Tri-nation: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should have been dropped from Afghanistan A match, reckons Sanjay Manjrekar
India A vs Afghanistan A LIVE Score key pointers: – ‘Sooryavanshi should have been dropped’, Manjrekar tells the Indian team management in Dambulla. – A fifty partnership between Tilak Varma and Kumar Kushagra has brought India back into the contest. – A third wicket goes down for India, with the dismissal of Ruturaj Gaikwad….Read More
– Priyansh Arya played a fine knock of 58 off 41 balls, but was removed shortly after. Not too long ago, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi rode his luck against Afghanistan A, but just as he began to find his rhythm, the youngster threw his wicket away and once again failed to convert a promising start, departing for 38 off 28 balls.
– Both Sooryavanshi and Priyansh Arya had earlier knocked the stuffing out of the Afghanistan A bowlers. Sooryavanshi survived an early scare when a spectacular catch at point was ruled not out after replays suggested the ball had brushed the ground. He then made the most of the reprieve with a crisp boundary through the covers. But luck smiled on him again moments later as he top-edged the ball only for the fielder to spill a straightforward chance.

IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Imran Mir hopes for a miracle!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: With very little going Afghanistan A’s way, captain Imran Mir has brought himself into the attack in the hope of breaking this partnership. He is only a part-time bowler, but cricket has a habit of producing wickets from the most unlikely sources. Mir will be hoping he can provide that breakthrough, even though Tilak Varma and Kumar Kushagra remain resolute in their approach.

IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Can India get to 350 from here?
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Thankfully, with no threat of rain or bad light, India A have every opportunity to exact revenge for their earlier defeat to Afghanistan A. Tilak Varma and Kumar Kushagra are well set, their partnership growing stronger with every over. Afghanistan A seem to have taken their foot off the pedal, and with India A scoring at well over six an over, they are firmly on course for a total close to 350, if not more.
Jun 17, 2026 12:21:35 PM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Kushagra survives a run-out chance!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: A direct hit from the deep, and the Afghanistan A players are delirious. The decision eventually comes back as NOT OUT, but the batter can count himself extremely lucky. The frame that convinced the third umpire showed the bails coming off with the bat just inside the crease. But honestly, the one frame that wasn’t captured could have been the dealbreaker.
Jun 17, 2026 12:15:43 PM IST
IND A vs AFG A LIVE Score: This partnership is now flourishing
IND A vs AFG A LIVE Score: These two came together shortly after India A lost Priyansh Arya and Ruturaj Gaikwad, but the way Tilak Varma and Kumar Kushagra have responded deserves the highest praise. Their fifty partnership is up, and India A look completely untroubled by this Afghanistan A attack. They are making it look easy. Approaching 200.

IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: FOUR! The odd boundary continues to come
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: India A continue to tick along nicely, with Tilak Varma bringing up his third boundary with a fine tickle off the pads. The scoring rate is still hovering around seven an over, with Afghanistan A just beginning to let it loose.

IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: FOUR! Kumar grows in confidence

Jun 17, 2026 11:46:21 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: DROPPED again
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Woeful. That is the only word to describe Afghanistan A’s shoddy display in the field today. Zahir Khan gets a taste of his own medicine as Kumar Kushagra is put down off his bowling. And to make matters worse, the very next delivery flies away for five wides.
What is happening, Afghanistan A?
India A 151/3 after 22 overs.
Jun 17, 2026 11:40:41 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Things slow down for India a tad!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: As expected, the two new batters, Tilak Varma and Kumar Kushagra, are doing the sensible thing by taking their time before looking to unleash the big shots. Both are still in single figures. Only 20 overs have been bowled, with 30 more to go. India A are taking it one step at a time. Oh, and just as we were about to finish this post, Kumar Kushagra gets a thick outside edge that races away for four.
Jun 17, 2026 11:33:00 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Misfield! Ridiculous
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Terrible from Afghanistan A. And it’s Zahir Khan again. Having earlier dropped Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, he now makes a complete mess in the field to gift Tilak Varma a boundary. A regulation stop turns into four as Zahir bends down to collect the ball but lets it slip through.
India 133/3 in 19 overs
Jun 17, 2026 11:26:06 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: OUT! Gaikwad this time

Jun 17, 2026 11:23:52 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: CRUNCHED for FOUR!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Cruel! The previous delivery deserved a boundary but yielded just a single. Gaikwad is having none of it. Two balls later, he thumps one straight back down the ground for four. He is batting on a different surface altogether, timing everything to perfection.
Jun 17, 2026 11:21:31 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Time to show composure!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: India A’s scoring rate has dipped from over 9.5 an over to 7.7 following the dismissals of the destructive opening pair, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Priyansh Arya. Even so, it remains a strong scoring rate and provides the perfect platform for Ruturaj Gaikwad and captain Tilak Varma to rebuild the innings, brick by brick.
Remember, this is a do-or-die clash for India A if they are to qualify for the final.
Jun 17, 2026 11:10:23 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: OUT! Arya caught
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: That’s the wicket Afghanistan A desperately needed! Priyansh Arya slaps it hard but can only find the fielder at point. The on-field umpires send it upstairs, but this one is straightforward. “I am satisfied,” says the third umpire, and Arya’s impressive knock ends on 58 from 42 balls. India A are 115/2 after 14.5 overs as the players head off for drinks.
Jun 17, 2026 11:04:44 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: SHOT! Pure class!

Jun 17, 2026 10:59:39 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Ruturaj joins in
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Ruturaj Gaikwad joins in. He just leans in and drives the ball towards covers and yet another boundary is registered by an Indian batter. Ruturaj showing why he is a master craftsman against the spinners.

Jun 17, 2026 10:38:07 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: No stopping Vaibhav Sooryavanshi!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: This is slipping away from Afghanistan A alarmingly quickly. Nine fours and three sixes have already flown off the bat, and the floodgates are well and truly open. Faridoon has been taken apart, conceding 37 runs despite still being only in his fourth over, with Sooryavanshi taking charge to start the over with a FOUR followed by a SIX.
Jun 17, 2026 10:31:38 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: SIX! First of the innings
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: And another one comes off the bat of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Is it his day or what? He top edges yet another delivery, but this time it lands safely in no man’s land. To rub salt into Afghanistan A’s wounds, Priyansh Arya follows it up by launching his first six of the day.

Jun 17, 2026 10:29:25 AM IST

IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Priyansh Arya signs off the fifth over with a thunderous straight drive off Faridoon, and Sooryavanshi wastes no time in the sixth, crunching a superb pull shot to the boundary. Any early nerves have disappeared. India A are in full flow now and the batters are beginning to dictate terms.
Jun 17, 2026 10:24:34 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: FOUR more!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: A freebie from Faridoon, and Priyansh Arya is not going to miss out. The left arm quick, playing his first game, strays onto the pads, and Arya simply helps it on its way to the boundary. India A are beginning to settle nicely, and just like in their previous games, they are making the Powerplay count.
Jun 17, 2026 10:22:25 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Arya and Vaibhav pick the bones
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Afghanistan A look rattled, and India A are cashing in. Priyansh Arya gets the charge going with his first boundary before Vaibhav Sooryavanshi joins the party with two fours of his own. After two early lives, the youngster is beginning to find his rhythm. India A are cruising at 27/0 after four overs.
Jun 17, 2026 10:17:55 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Sooryavanshi should thank his lucky stars
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Another life for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi! First he survives a controversial catch, and now he’s been put down. This was a regulation chance. Sooryavanshi top-edged it straight to the fielder, who somehow spilled it. Surely, the youngster has to cash in from here.
Jun 17, 2026 10:15:40 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: There he goes! Sooryavanshi away
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: That’s how you respond to an early life! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets off the mark in style, crunching the ball through the sweeper cover region for his first boundary. That’s exactly the confidence booster he needed. More like it!
Jun 17, 2026 10:15:30 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Close reprieve for Sooryavanshi
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Massive let off for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi! He mistimes the cut and sends it flying to point, where the fielder dives to complete what looks like a stunning one-handed catch. But the replays tell a different story, with the ball appearing to brush the ground. After a lengthy review, the third umpire overturns the decision, and Sooryavanshi survives. The Afghanistan A players are upset and are arguing with the umpires.
Jun 17, 2026 10:05:47 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: WHOA!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is rooted to the crease and almost falls for a golden duck. The ball climbs awkwardly, leaving the opener all at sea as he pokes at it. He misses it completely, with the ball flying past the outside edge. Much better on the next delivery, as he presents the full face of the bat in defence to see out the over. India A are 7/0 after one.
Jun 17, 2026 10:03:51 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Priyansh takes strike
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Surprise! Surprise! It is not Vaibhav Sooryavanshi but the other exciting left-hander, Priyansh Arya, who takes strike.

IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Pitch report!
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Interesting sight from Dambulla! This will be the fourth match played on this pitch, but surprisingly, it doesn’t appear to have deteriorated as much as expected. In fact, the deck still has a tinge of green, so don’t rule out some early movement. The experts believe the team batting first should aim for at least 300. Remember, India A scored 349 against Afghanistan A the last time around.
Jun 17, 2026 9:51:57 AM IST
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: The aftermath lingers?
IND A vs AFG LIVE Score: Less than 48 hours after the ill-tempered end to their last contest against Sri Lanka A, it is important for the Indians to start from scratch. A bit of pressure is fine, but carrying any baggage from the end of the last match into this one promises to do more harm than good.
