A historic innings by the West Indies leads to a commanding victory over Afghanistan.
The West Indies dominated Afghanistan in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, showcasing their incredible batting ability in the process.
During the game at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia, the West Indies recorded their highest-ever T20 World Cup total, demonstrating their formidable talents.
In an attempt to make an early breakthrough at the run-crazed Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Rashid Khan won the toss and sent the West Indies in. However, there were warning indications right away.
The West Indies showed unrelenting aggression right away, putting Afghanistan's bowling attack to the test with a rapid pace. After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, the hosts took full advantage of every opportunity, dashing Afghanistan's hopes for early breakthroughs.
The West Indies, spearheaded by Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran, scored an incredible 218 runs in their allotted 20 overs at the expense of five wickets.
With a quick-fire innings to start, Charles set the tone early. Pooran, who later scored his first half-century in a T20 World Cup game, provided flawless assistance.
With a barrage of sixes and boundaries during Pooran's 98 runs off just 53 balls, the Afghan bowlers were under extreme strain.
