Afghanistan Defeats West Indies in Crunch T20 World Cup Match with Fresh Pitch and Strong Winds: A Closer Look

In the final group game of the men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan emerged victorious against West Indies. The match was held at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, named after the West Indies head coach, with winds forecasted to be a significant factor, with speeds over 20kmph expected.

Rashid Khan, the Afghan captain, had been determined to give his team experience chasing a target as they had only done so once in the tournament against PNG. To achieve this, he decided to stick with the same lineup while West Indies made a few changes for their last match before the Super Eight stage. Romario Shepherd had returned home for the birth of his second child, giving Obed McCoy a chance in the XI. Shai Hope came in to bolster the batting, replacing Roston Chase.

The pitch played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the game as it was fresh for St Lucia’s third match of T20 World Cup. West Indies fielded a lineup that included Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran, Shai Hope, Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph
