AFG vs WI Live Cricket Score

4.5 OUT! Bowled! Wow! What a delivery as a response after going for a boundary on the last ball. A superb yorker on the leg stump line. Zazai looks to dig out but misses it as his bat comes down late. The leg stump is uprooted and out comes the Sheldon Salute. Zazai's uncomfortable stay ends. A superb ball to someone who has a very high backlift. A top start for West Indies. 11/1

5.5 OUT! Caught! Javed departs now. It is Holder who removes him. A good length ball in the channel, Javed goes for the drive but gets an outside edge which goes to Pooran at second slip. He snaffles it easily. Superb start for the visitors after winning the toss. Ikram Ali Khil walks out to join Rahmat Shah in the middle. 15/2

32.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Shah looks distraught here as he cannot believe what he has done. Floated on middle and off, Shah looks to play the paddle sweep shot. Chase identifies it early and gives the ball a little more loop. Shah gets a top edge on that one and the ball goes straight to Holder at square leg. Almost makes a mockery of that catch. Shah departs after a very fine innings and Afghanistan have half their side back in the hut. 152/5

26.3 OUT! RUN OUT! What happened suddenly? This is unfortunate for Ali Khil as he has to depart. A very crucial moment in this game. He was well-set but he will have to walk back to the pavilion now. Chase floats a ball on middle and leg, Shah flicks this one towards deep mid-wicket for a single. The batters complete the single and Ali Khil walks out of his crease to congratulate Shah on his half ton. All of a sudden, West Indies appeal for a run out and the square leg umpire takes it upstairs. Okay then, this is crazy and unfortunate at the same time. The replays show that after completing the single, Ikram waits for the throw to come and even planted his bat in to make way for the ball to go to the keeper. He then leaves to congratulate his partner and this is when the keeper broke the stumps. All of that happened in a flash. The ball became dead as far as Ikram thinks but for the keeper, the whole process got completed when he broke the stumps. Slightly debatable decision. Ikram wasn't attempting for a run, to be honest. But then, as per the rules you have to wait till the ball becomes dead for all. A bizarre way to get dismissed. 50 up for Shah but his celebration is spoiled by this incident. This dismissal takes our memory to the 2006 Test match involving New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Christchurch. In a similar incident, after grounding his bat to complete the run, Muralitharan turned back to congratulate Sangakkara for his fabulous century. But the ball had not been ruled dead and Brendon McCullum, the wicketkeeper, whipped the bails off. Then, it was a big controversy where Mahela Jayawardene felt it was not in keeping with the true spirit of the competition and Stephen Fleming said that they played by the rule. You won't hear much uproar here because it's a very low-keyed contest and Ikram Ali Khil isn't of the same stature as Muttiah Muralitharan. 126/3

27 OUT! CAUGHT! Zadran has to walk back now. Beautiful ball by Chase, he floats this one on off. Zadran looks to prod forward and defend but the ball goes off the outside edge towards Holder at first slip who takes a simple catch. Double trouble for the Afghans here and West Indies are into the lower middle order now. 126/4

45 RUN OUT! What a brilliant piece of fielding from Jason Holder. What an effort and they get the massive massive wicket of Afghan. A flighted fuller ball on off, Afghan looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge which goes to Holder at first slip on the bounce to his right. He gets down in time and then throws the ball on the stumps at the striker's end. Afghan thought that the ball would go past Holder because of the thick edge but that was not the case. He dives to get back but Hodler's accurate throw finds him short. Excellent work. 194/9

35.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Afghanistan 6 down now and in deep trouble. Short of a length ball on off, Nabi tries to pull this one towards the leg side. However, he only manages to get a top edge on that one. The ball flies high towards deep third man where Sheldon Cottrell runs to his left and takes the catch. 158/6

42.5 OUT! Caught! Straight at the throat of Chase. A flighted ball on off, Naib looks to send it over the long off region but he can only manage to hit the ball straight to Chase at long off who gobbles it with ease. Walsh gets his first ODI wicket for West Indies. 191/7

43.2 OUT! Caught! The other Windies debutant, Shepherd gets a wicket now. A two-ball duck for the Afghan skipper. A good length ball in the channel outside off, Rashid pokes at it but finds an outside edge which goes straight in the mitts of Shai Hope behind the wicket. Rashid is a prized scalp as he could've added quick runs during the death overs. 192/8

45.2 OUT! Wicket number 2 for Shepherd and Afghanistan are all out. Short ball outside off, Naveen goes for the pull but all he can manage is a top edge which goes high just behind the non-striker's end. Pollard from mid-wicket calls it his catch and snaffles it with ease. Afghanistan are bowled out for 194. 194/10

4.1 OUT! LBW! That is absolutely plumb! First ball Mujeeb bowls to a left-hander and he strikes. The spinner is really good against left-handers and that was visible here. Also, Lewis can be blamed as he went back to a ball he should have played by coming forward. Flatter and on off, it skids through and turns back in a little. Lewis goes back but is late in bringing his bat down in time. It hits the pad. An appeal and up goes the finger. Early wicket, exactly what you need while defending an average total. 12/1

7.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There goes another one! It is Naveen who strikes. Big wicket as Hetmyer is a very talented player, however, in the recent past, he has not put that talent to good effect. This though is a beautiful delivery. It lands on off and then shapes away a touch. Hetmyer pushes at it ahead of his body and also inside the line. It kisses the outside edge and goes into the gloves of Ikram Ali Khil. Game on here. West Indies need another 170 runs with 8 wickets in hand. 25/2

43.5 OUT! TIMBER! Heartbreak for Chase! He falls six short of his first ODI ton. What an innings though by him. He has done the job he was sent out for. His 163-run stand with Hope has taken his team almost over the line. A round of applause as he walks back. Afghanistan finally have something to be happy out. Mujeeb bowls a short one on off, it stays a touch low. Chase looks to bring his ton up with a hit as he tries to pull this. Misses and the ball clips the off pole. For a second, Chase waits as he must have felt the bails would have come off of the gloves of the keeper but that is not the case. He needs to walk back. 188/3
