West Indies got off to a good start by batting first at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. West Indies have made 92 runs for the loss of one wicket in the first Powerplay. This is the most runs in the Powerplay by any team in the history of the T20 World Cup. Nicholas Pooran scored 36 runs in Azmatullah Omarzai’s over, who came to bowl the fourth over of the match. Afghanistan’s bowlers bowled a few no-balls in the opening overs, which West Indies took advantage of. West Indies are heading for a big score in the match. Earlier, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss and elected to bowl first against co-hosts West Indies in the ICC T20 World Cup Group C final. Both Afghanistan and West Indies have qualified for the Super-8. In such a situation, the result of this match will not be affected. However, both West Indies and Afghanistan are unbeaten in Group C so far. In such a situation, a team’s winning streak will definitely come to a halt today.
This is the playing eleven of both the teams
