AFG Win by 23 Runs | Afghanistan vs West Indies Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2026 Warm-up Match: WI 159/7 in 20 Overs (Target 183)

Afghanistan Win by 23 Runs! Some late blitz by Mathhew Forde as he smashes unbeaten 52 off just 26 balls. But that wasn't enough for West Indies to take them home. Afghanistan end their warm-ups campaign with another win as they beat West Indies by 23 runs.

West Indies need 79 runs in 30 balls at 15.8 runs per over. This has been another excellent outing for Afghanistan as they near yet another victory in the warm-ups. 

West Indies continue to struggle as they are six down now. Windies need 107 more runs to win from 8 overs at an asking rate of 13.37 runs per over. 

End of Powerplay overs and safe to say West Indies batsmen have struggled against Afghan bowlers. Azmatullah Omarzai has picked two wickets thus far while Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb ur Rahman have chipped in with a wicket apiece.

Good start with the ball for Afghanistan as Azmatullah Omarzai dismissed Shai Hope in the second over. Meanwhile, Johnson Charles has joined Brandon King in the middle.  

So, Afghanistan finish with a good total on the board. 182/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Gulbadin Naib and Mohammad Nabi came out to bat after Darwish Rasooli and Azmatullah Omarzai were retired out but the duo did not have much impact on Afghan total. Do join us back for West Indies' chase.

Afghanistan's current run-rate is worth 8.47 and with three kore overs to go, one expects them to cross the 180-run mark from here. Both Darwish Rasooli and Azmatullah Omarzai are capable of hitting them big.

Ibrahim Zadran has been retired out and soon after that Roston Chase accounted for Sediqullah Atal. Darwish Rasooli and Azmatullah Omarzai are the two batters at the crease now as Afghanistan eye final onslaught.

That's half-century up for Ibrahim Zadran. 50 off 32 balls for the right-handed batsman. Afghanistan are in a comfortable position and once expects them to further up the ante from here on.

Gudakesh Motie strikes for West Indies as he removed Rahmanullah Gurbaz who was looking dangerous. Gurbaz is caught at short third-man and he departs for 48 off 23 balls. Meanwhile,Sediqullah Atal is the new batsman in.

End of Powerplay overs and Afghanistan have done well having lost no wicket. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is batting on 36 off 22 balls while Ibrahim Zadran, who started slow, is on 23 off 14 balls. 

Watchful start for both the Afghanistan. While Rahmanullah Gurbaz is scoring at a pretty good pace, Ibrahim Zadran  has been more than watchful.  Three bowlers used by West Indies thus far.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran are the two openers for Afghanistan. And it is Akeal Hosein who starts proceedings for West Indies. Couple of boundaries for Gurbaz in the opening over as Akeal concedes 11 runs.

West Indies Squad: Brandon King, Shai Hope(w/c), Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Jason Holder, Jayden Seales, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Quentin Sampson, Johnson Charles.
