Wi vs Afg Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today :

Nicholas Pooran’s spectacular 53-ball 98 led West Indies reach 218 for 5 before the bowlers rallied to score a 104-run victory over Afghanistan in their last group match at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia.

In his opening encounter of the tournament, Obed McCoy shocked the Afghan middle-order, taking three wickets in as many overs. Spinners Akeil Hosein and Gudakesh Motie choked Afghanistan to 114 in 16.2 overs.

After losing Brendon King in the second over, Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran went on a tear, leading the Windies to 92/1 in the powerplay, the biggest PP score in T20 World Cup history. Afghanistan spinners stifled run scoring in the middle overs, but Pooran broke loose at the conclusion of the innings, helping West Indies score their greatest total in T20 World Cups.

Earlier, Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bowl. Both teams have already qualified for the Super Eight stage, but the winner will take the top spot in Group C. Romario Shepherd has left the West Indies team following the birth of his second kid. He will rejoin the team on Tuesday. Obed McCoy took his place, and Shai Hope replaced Royston Chase. Afghanistan named an unchanged lineup.
