In a thrilling match at Gros Islet, the West Indies cricket team displayed their impressive batting skills to secure a 104-run victory over Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup Group C match. The star of the show was Nicholas Pooran, who played a key role in leading his team to victory.
As both teams had already secured a spot in the Super 8 stage, it was a battle of pride for the two-time champions. However, it was the West Indies who dominated the game with their powerful batting, scoring a massive total of 218 runs for the loss of only five wickets. Pooran was the standout performer, smashing eight sixes and six fours in his incredible 53-ball innings of 98 runs.
Despite Afghanistan's decision to bowl first, they were unable to contain Pooran's onslaught. His impressive display of hitting left the opposition struggling to keep up with the scoring rate. As a result, they could only manage 114 runs in 16.2 overs, unable to handle the pressure of chasing such a high target.
Looking ahead, the West Indies will face England in their Super 8 Group 2 match on June 20. With their strong performance in this match, they will surely be full of confidence and determination to continue their winning streak.
The final scorecard showed West Indies with a commanding total of 218 runs for the loss of five wickets in their allotted 20 overs, while Afghanistan could only muster 114 runs before being all out in 16.2 overs. It was a thrilling match, and the West Indies emerged as the deserving winners with their dominant batting performance.
