India A Vs Afghanistan A Live Streaming, ODI Tri-Series 2026: Check Hourly Dambulla Weather For Match 5

India A find themselves in a must-win situation as they prepare to take on Afghanistan A in their final league-stage fixture of the ODI Tri-Series 2026 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Wednesday.

Led by Tilak Varma, India A began the tournament with a thrilling victory over Sri Lanka A, powered by Ruturaj Gaikwad's century.

However, back-to-back setbacks against Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A including a heartbreaking Super Over defeat in their previous outing have left their hopes of reaching the final hanging in the balance. Another loss would all but end India's campaign, making this clash their biggest game of the tournament so far.

The spotlight will once again be on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has been at the centre of attention following his heated exchange with a Sri Lankan player after the dramatic Super Over finish.

Alongside experienced performers such as Prabhsimran Singh, Ayush Badoni, Anshul Kamboj and Arshad Khan, India A will need a complete performance to keep their title hopes alive and secure a place in the final.

Afghanistan A, meanwhile, already have the psychological advantage after defeating India earlier in the competition. Known for their fearless brand of cricket and ability to thrive under pressure, the Afghans will be looking to complete a double over India A and strengthen their own position heading into the tournament finale.

With a place in the final potentially on the line, another fiercely contested encounter is expected in Dambulla.
