Afghanistan vs. West Indies Live Score: T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today At the Daren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, West Indies posted 218 for 5 thanks to an incredible 53-ball 98 from Nicholas Pooran, but the bowlers turned things around and defeated Afghanistan by 104 runs in their last group game.

Obed McCoy, who was playing in his debut tournament encounter, terrorized the Afghan middle order by taking three wickets in a row. Afghanistan was bowled out for a pitiful 114 in 16.2 overs by spinners Akeil Hosein and Gudakesh Motie, who choked the opposition.

Following Brendon King's dismissal in the second over, Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran went on a rampage, leading the Windies to a powerplay score of 92/1, the highest in the T20 World Cup history. Afghanistan's spinners slowed the pace of run scoring in the middle overs, but Pooran's late-inning burst of creativity helped the West Indies reach their highest-ever T20 World Cup total.

Afghanistan had previously won the toss and chosen to bowl. Although both clubs have already earned a spot in the Super Eight, the victor will take first place in Group C. Following the birth of his second kid, Romario Shepherd is no longer in the West Indies starting lineup. On Tuesday, he will return to the team. Obed McCoy took his place, while Royston Chase was replaced by Shai Hope. Afghanistan announced the same starting lineup.
