Right! That is all from the first Afg-WI T20I. A damp squib, I am afraid. There is not much time for a turnaround. Because the second and third T20Is will be played on successive days - Saturday and Sunday. Afghanistan really do not have enough time to even think what happened here. Good thing is that there is no travel to different venues. Join us on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 7 pm local (1330 GMT). ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Victorious West Indian skipper, Kieron Pollard, has been named the MAN OF THE MATCH. Feels that it is always good to contribute and even better when it comes in a winning cause. Praises Lewis and Hetmyer for setting up the platform. Then lauds the bowlers for restricting the score well. Admits that it was not the easiest pitches to bat on and hence the conditions dictated of taking one's time, running hard between the wickets and when the ball is not there for shot-making, maneuver the strike well and play smart cricket. On Allen's absence making them a bowler short, Pollard says that in T20 cricket, normally there are plenty of bowling options, so they were used to it. Praises Jason Holder and Sheldon Cottrell for bowling an exceptional opening spell which tightened the noose on the Afghans.
Afghanistan skipper, Rashid Khan, believes that it was a toss which should have been won and they did bowl well in the first 10 overs. Also feels that 165 was a total which should have been chased down. But then, blames the batsmen for not stepping up. Adds that there are 2 more games left, so hopes to learn from the mistakes committed in this game. Agrees that the series is all about giving youngsters an opportunity as there is plenty of upcoming talent in the country. But believes that in spite of the inexperience due to the young guys, which will take some time to gain confidence, it will prove helpful come the Asia Cup and the World Twenty20.
Is it fair to say that Evin Lewis was the differentiator between the two sides? Probably not. West Indies showed more application than the Afghans and this has been a case not only here but right from the ODIs. Who would your Man Of The Match be? Evin Lewis? Kieron Pollard? Kesrick Williams? Please stay tuned for the presenation...
Then, with the ball, the Windies did not let the effect of the dew hamper them at all. They seemed well prepared as they bowled well, managing tight lines and keeping the Afghans quiet. Just 4 batsmen managed double figures and only 2 sixes were hit in the run chase. Everyone bowled well but Kesrick Williams bagged the most wickets with 3/17 in his 4 overs. Mind you, they were a bowler short, losing Fabian Allen due to injury on the field. Yet, had 6 bowlers.
Now, we have got to hand it to the Caribbeans. On a track which was staying low, Lewis took the game away from the 'hosts' while Pollard provided the knockout punch towards the end, even though Afghanistan did manage to come back after Hetmyer's wicket. Lewis' blitz of 68 from 41 balls on a wicket like this was priceless.
Comfortably done in the end. 164 did look 20-30 runs below par at the halfway mark but it turned out to be 20-30 more than par. The 2016 WT20 champions have played like one, batting well on a sluggish track and then bowling exceedingly well in spite of the dew.

Kesrick Williams To Naveen-ul-Haq
Naveen goes for the reverse sweep again. This time Williams cleverly bowls it down the leg side. Naveen wants it to be called a wide but the umpire says that it is a legal delivery. Now, the batsman is not happy at all. He looks at the square leg umpire and then at the main one. Walks down the track and is fuming in anger, wanting that to be called a wide or a no ball for height. It was definitely not a no ball while as far as the wide quotient is concerned, it could not be called as the batsman was trying to play it on the opposite side.

Kieron Pollard To Asghar Afghan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The third umpire gives it out. Short of a length delivery, Afghan pulls it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards substitute Keemo Paul who runs in to take the catch just inches above the ground. The fielder is not claiming it at all and that prompts the umpires to refer it upstairs. The soft signal is out, I guess because it is not possible to check whether the catch is clean. However, in the end, the third umpire gives it out. Paul is not in the T20I squad, yet has come out to field. Allowed?
Is that a wicket? That is a stunning catch, if taken. But substitute Keemo Paul is not claiming it. The umpire has referred it upstairs. Looks to be a clean catch as per the second replay, which is front on. He is adjudged OUT, because of the soft signal.
Kieron Pollard is back on. 1-0-3-0 so far.

Sheldon Cottrell To Ibrahim Zadran OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Another wicket down and double trouble for Afghanistan! Short of a length ball on the body, Zadran looks to pull this one but gets a top edge on this one. The ball flies towards mid-wicket where Fabian Allen is positioned. He settles himself under the ball and takes the catch. West Indies well and truly on top here!

Jason Holder To Rahmanullah Gurbaz OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! A very good shot but straight to the man! Fuller ball on middle, Gurbaz looks to attack from the word go. He walks across his crease and looks to paddle-flick it but the ball goes uppishly straight to Brandon King at short fine leg. An early blow for Afghanistan as their explosive opener departs. He is known as the AB de Villiers of Afghanistan. Not quite living up to that legend's name.
