Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the game, after a disastrous start that saw a first-ball run-out and the score slipping to 19/2, Afghanistan staged a sensational recovery to post a commanding 181/3. The innings was defined by a colossal, match-turning 162-run stand for the third wicket between Ibrahim Zadran and Darwish Rasooli, who blended steady accumulation with late aggression. While the West Indies began with intensity, they lost control in the field and with the ball, leaking 53 runs in the final five overs as the Afghan duo capitalized on loose deliveries.
On the other hand, Afghanistan were clinical with the ball. They struck consistently, ensuring no partnership could threaten the total. Ziaur Rahman picked three crucial wickets to break the back of the West Indies batting lineup. He was brilliantly supported by the spin trio of Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rashid Khan, and Noor Ahmad, who chipped in with two wickets each. It was a disciplined bowling effort that secured a well-deserved victory for Afghanistan.
A convincing win for Afghanistan! Chasing a target of 182, the West Indies run chase never quite found its rhythm as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Johnson Charles provided a brief spark with a rapid 27 off 16 balls, but his departure in the powerplay exposed the middle order. The hosts found themselves in deep trouble at 57/5 at the halfway mark, leaving them with a mountain to climb, needing 125 runs from the final 10 overs. Although Quentin Sampson and Matthew Forde attempted a late counter-attack with some big hits, the asking rate proved too steep. Noor Ahmad effectively closed out the game in the 18th over, removing both Forde and Gudakesh Motie to end the resistance.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman To Evin Lewis
Flatter arm ball, sliding into the middle. Evin Lewis hangs back and tucks it off the inner half to short mid-wicket.
Halt. Rahmanullah Gurbaz seems to have hurt his finger while collecting the ball. The physio comes out with the magic spray to attend to him. He is good to go after getting the treatment.
