In the 2024 T20 World Cup, the West Indies beat Afghanistan by 104 runs
An amazing display of batting led by Nicholas Pooran guided the West Indies to a victory of 104 runs over Afghanistan in their final Group C match of the T20 World Cup.
With both teams assured of a place in the Super 8, it was the two-time champion West Indies who displayed their batting might, amassing a formidable 218 for five, with Pooran going on a six-hitting spree during his 53-ball 98.
The decision of the Afghanistan cricket team to bowl first backfired, as Pooran hit as many as eight sixes and six boundaries during his stay.
In reply, the Afghanistan cricket team succumbed to scoreboard pressure, managing just 114 in 16.2 overs. In their Super 8 Group 2 match on June 20, the hosts will face England.
Brief Score:
West Indies: 218 for five in 20 overs (Nicholas Pooran 98; Gulbadin Naib 2/14).
Afghanistan: 114 all out in 16.2 overs (Ibrahim Zadran 38; Obed McCoy 3/14; AkealHosein 2/21).
