AFG vs WI Live Cricket Score

0.5 OUT! In the air... taken! There goes Zazai for a duck! Perfect start for West Indies as Cottrell strikes in the first over itself. This is a shortish ball outside off, it is an off pace delivery. Zazai looks to slap it over on the off side but the ball hits the splice of the bat and lobs towards cover where Lewis takes a dolly. Big wicket for West Indies as Zazai can be very destructive especially in this format. 3/1

16.2 OUT! TAKEN! There is the wicket the Windies wanted. Gurbaz though has done the job he was sent out for. He walks back after a brilliant, brilliant knock. He though can consider himself a touch unlucky. He had creamed that but due to the long boundaries, he holes out. A short ball outside off, Gurbaz slaps it hard uppishly but straight to sweeper cover where Paul takes a dolly. Can Windies keep them under 150? 120/5

3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! That is an unnecessary shot by Janat! Not sure what he was doing there. It is wide outside off, Karim swings at it wildly. The ball takes the outside edge and goes straight to Hope. The trademark Sheldon salute is out once again. It was a decent over for Afghanistan, that shot was not needed at all. Nevertheless, Windies won't care. They are right on top at the moment. 12/2

7.3 RUN OUT! Ibrahim Zadran departs after very bad communication between the two Afghanistan batters. Holder bowls a full ball on the pads, Gurbaz looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. The ball rolls towards the leg side of the pitch and Holder races towards the ball. Gurbaz calls for a run, takes a couple of steps down the track but then sends Ibrahim back. Zadran tries to turn and get back but Holder scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Maybe a blessing in disguise for Afghanistan here as Zadran was struggling. 44/3

13.4 OUT! TAKEN! The dropped catch does not cost a lot. Paul gets his man. Forget the recovery now because a road block has come. A good short one on middle, it skids through. Afghan is beaten by pace as he looks to hook. It hits the top edge and lobs towards short mid-wicket where Brandon King makes no mistake this time. The excellent partnership of 50 has been broken. West Indies will now look to get back into the game. 94/4

18.1 OUT! Zadran holes out! Taking wickets is the only way the Windies can stop the run flow. A full ball on middle, it is right in the hole. Najibullah Zadran fails to get under it completely and only manages to hit it high up in the air towards long on where Kieron Pollard takes it. So the firecrackers, themselves catch fire before bursting. That is how long Najibullah lasted in the middle. 142/6

19.1 OUT! Another one bites the dust! That came right off the toe-end. A big wicket this as Nabi could have struck a few meaty blows in the last over. It is very full and outside off, Nabi looks to go over long on but fails to do so and he holes out to the man there. Holder takes a simple one. 151/8

18.4 OUT! Straight to the man! Rashid bags a first-baller. This is shorter and outside off, Rashid looks to pick the gap between backward point and point. It goes off the top edge and straight to the man at short third man where Cottrell takes it. 149/7

2.1 OUT! TIMBER! Mujeeb, like he has done many a times for Afghanistan, draws first blood for his side. That is not the right shot to play against him. We saw King playing something similar and get cleaned up in the first game and now Simmons. This is slightly shorter and it drifts in from outside off. LS goes back and looks to cut it but misses and the stumps are shattered. Not a good return into the team for the opener and Afghanistan strike early. 13/1

8 OUT! LBW! Janat, the star of yesterday, gets his first. That looked out to the naked eye. Lewis is walking off shaking his head but it seemed to be out. An important breakthrough as Lewis was off to a start and looking to get a move on. Janat bowls this one slightly shorter and on off, it comes in with the angle and also skids through. Lewis looks to pull but the ball does not bounce as much as he anticipated it to. The ball hits the pads, an appeal and up goes the finger. West Indies slip further behind. 115 runs needed in 72 balls. 42/3

3.5 OUT! KABOOM! Is that an action replay of the way King was cleaned up in the second T20I? Well, it does seem so. Another off cutter gets the better of King. It is fuller and on off, King is way too early in the shot, as he looks to work it on the leg side. He misses and the ball hits the stumps. Also, replays seem to indicate slightly low bounce, as was seen in the last game too. West Indies in big, big trouble now. 16/2

18.1 OUT! Straight to the man! That is probably game, set and match. The well-set Shai Hope is out of here. This is full and outside off, Hope looks to go over covers but the ball is a little too full to get under it. He ends up hitting it straight to Afghan there. It went to him quickly but he hangs on. A good innings by Shai but he was probably Windies' only hope. 39 needed in 11 balls with two new batters out there. 118/6

12.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Hetmyer departs and the floodgates have opened! Rashid Khan bowls a slower one, Hetmyer looks to play this over cover but does not time it well. The ball takes the outside edge and goes towards point where Asghar Afghan takes an easy catch. The budding stand is broken and Afghanistan roaring loudly! The Windies need 77 off 45 balls. 80/4

17.2 OUT! Pollard holes out! Is this the end of West Indies' charge? Pollard went for the big one, he had to go for this one. It is full on off, the ball keeps a bit low. The West Indies skipper looks to heave it over the mid-wicket fence. He cannot get under it and he ends up finding the man in the deep to perfection. Najibullah Zadran there makes no mistake and takes a simple catch. 45 needed off 16. Are West Indies still in it? 112/5

19.2 OUT! Caught! Another wicket for Naveen-ul-Haq. Good length ball outside off, Holder looks to clear the long on fence. He does not time it well and it goes to Mohammad Nabi there who stretches and takes a good catch. This has been a very good bowling display from young Naveen. His 3rd of the game. 124/7
