That's a wrap, folks! So, that brings curtains to this contest between Afghanistan and West Indies but don't go anywhere, as the lights are switched on in the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, as India will take on South Africa. The buildup has already started there. You can switch the tabs and join us there. Cheers for now.
No respite for the two-time Champions - The West Indies find themselves facing significant scrutiny following a lackluster warm-up performance that underscored lingering concerns from a grueling international circuit. Their execution with the ball faltered as they allowed Afghanistan to dictate terms, and the batting unit subsequently buckled under the raw pace of the Afghan frontline attack. Most concerning for the Windies was their inability to stitch together a formidable partnership or find a rhythm until that 8th wicket stand between Matthew Forde and Jason Holder. Forde struck a valiant fifty but it was too little too late for the Windies. This defeat leaves the two-time champions with more questions than answers as they scramble to find form before their World Cup campaign officially begins.
Minnows no more - Afghanistan delivered a clinical performance, setting a dominant tone from the outset with a robust 90-run opening partnership anchored by Ibrahim Zadran’s half-century. Azmatullah Omarzai provided the late-innings fireworks, delivering a sharp cameo that propelled the total past the 180-run mark. The momentum shifted seamlessly to the defense, where the frontline pace attack dismantled the West Indies' top order by claiming four crucial wickets within the Powerplay. Remarkably, Afghanistan asserted their dominance and checked every tactical box without even needing to utilize Rashid Khan, signaling their status as a formidable force in the tournament.
The Afghans are flying high - Afghanistan head into the World Cup brimming with confidence after securing back-to-back dominant victories in their warm-up campaign. Following a thumping performance that dismantled Scotland in their opening fixture, they maintained their clinical edge by beating the West Indies today, whilst always staying ahead in the game. This ruthless display of form across both matches suggests the Afghan side are perfectly acclimated and ready to be a major threat when the main event begins.
