T20 WC 2024: West Indies beat Afghanistan by 104 runs© AFP
A superlative batting show led by Nicholas Pooran powered West Indies to a 104-run win over Afghanistan of their closing Group C match of the T20 World Cup. With each groups assured of a Tremendous 8 berth, it was the two-time champions WI who displayed their batting may, amassing a formidable 218 for 5, with Pooran occurring a six-hitting spree throughout his 53-ball 98. Afghanistan’s resolution to bowl first backfired as Pooran hit as many as 8 maximums and 6 fours throughout his keep.
In reply, Afghanistan succumbed to scoreboard stress, managing simply 114 in 16.2 overs.
The hosts will face England of their Tremendous 8 Group 2 match on June 20.
