West Indies Vs Afghanistan Live Cricket Score - Live Score, Final Match - Full Scorecard

Ur Rahman to C Gayle, OUT! Mujeeb gets his man again! Storm or not, well someone is there to delay the same. Massive, massive wicket for Afghanistan. The dangerous Chris Gayle is gone. It is the spinner again. He tosses this up outside off and Gayle's eyes light up. His first reaction is to send this out of the park. But he fails to read the wiliness in that delivery. Slowing up the pace. Gayle is already through his shot when the ball comes. Result? A leading edge, induced because of the early attempted flick. The ball goes high in the air and for a second it seems that it will land safely. But Sharafuddin Ashraf keeps his eyes on the ball from point, runs to his left and takes a stunning diving catch! Just to give you an idea of how good the catch is - one of our colleagues Sanket - who is usually very calm nowadays with increasing age, jumped up in excitement to applaud the youngster. Tremendous catch. Another flop show by the Blaster.

G Naib to E Lewis, OUT! Edged and gone! That is the end of Lewis. Full and outside off, Lewis throws his bat at it but does not move his feet. Result? An outside edge behind. He was looking to play a long knock, but is gone now.

R Khan to S Hope, OUT! Hope is gone! Well, but has he hit it? On middle, Hope looks to pull but gets a thick inside edge onto his pads. Rashid appeals and up goes the finger! 100 ODI wickets for Rashid! Big achievement. This should not have been a wicket but the fourth ball should have been.

G Naib to M Samuels, OUT! Straight to the man! A short ball, Samuels pulls it but it is straight to short mid-wicket. Rahmat Shah does not have to move even an inch. What a waste of a wicket.

S Ashraf to S Hetmyer, OUT! Ashraf gets the breakthrough! He fires this in, around off and Hetmyer looks to push it to the off side. But the ball goes away, takes the outside edge and Shahzad behind fumbles, but takes it in the second attempt. Hetmyer puts his head down in disappointment. The umpire raises his finger on the appeal and off goes Shimron. Looked really good while he was out there.

M Nabi to S Hetmyer, OUT! Another one departs! West Indies are losing their way now as half the side is back in the hut. Hetmyer skips down the track to this tossed up delivery and lofts it over extra cover. They run the first one hard and go for another as well. Rahmat Shah from long off sprints across to his right and does well to stop the ball. The batsmen look to seal another and Holder responds to his partner. But Hetmyer at the last moment sends him back. The throw comes in towards the bowler who disturbs the stumps in the second attempt as Holder drags his bat in. They refer it upstairs and replays find the Windies skipper short.

Ur Rahman to R Powell, OUT! BOWLED! The off stump is in the gloves of Shahzad. A quick off spinner, outside off, almost a dart, Powell looks to get this out of the park with an almighty heave. Misses and the ball crashes into the off stump, uproots it and Mohammad Shahzad, who is standing up to collect the ball, collects the timber instead. Rovman could have perhaps delayed his intentions by a couple of more overs. But a terrific innings nevertheless.

D Zadran to C Brathwaite, OUT! There goes number 7. Total waste of a wicket. See ball, hit ball, bye bye. A length ball outside off, Brathwaite just looks to pull this out of the ground but is nowhere near the ball. Gets into an awkward position and gets a top edge. Mid off gets across to his right and takes a dolly. That is just a poor shot. Only a wild swing, no sense in picking the balls to hit. Windies going down the barrel.

Ur Rahman to K Paul, OUT! LBW! Mujeeb has his second in the over. Landed outside off, Paul lunges to defend but the ball spins back in sharply and catches him plumb in front of the wickets. Easy decision for the umpire.

Ur Rahman to K Roach, OUT! BOWLED! The Windies have been bowled out with 19 balls to spare. Criminal offense, irrespective of the match result. This is a googly from Mujeeb, bowling it from the back of the hand, like India's Anil Kumble. Roach lunges to defend, just like Paul, but misses the ball. The off stump is pegged back and the Windies have set a target of 205 for Afghanistan.

C Gayle to M Shahzad, OUT! No century for Shahzad. Off all the ridiculous shots that he has played in this innings, he gets out in a soft, soft manner. Tossed up outside off, Shahzad comes down the track and looks to go over mid off. But not with total conviction., Ends up chipping it in the air and Jason Holder at mid off makes no mistake. End of a fine, fine knock, just 16 short of a ton. The 90-run stand should seal the deal for the Afghans. Just 57 more needed from 116 balls.

K Paul to G Naib, OUT! A wicket for the Windies and Paul is pumped up. At least this match means something to someone from this side. A short ball outside off, moving away, generating extra bounce, Naib plays it away from his body and only ends up guiding it straight to Chris Gayle at first slip. A bit of a fumble but taken in the second attempt. End of a fiery opening stand. Has it done enough damage? 147 needed from 242 balls.

C Gayle to R Shah, OUT! 'Hee hee hee hee hee hee!' Someone laughed - Gayle or the keeper. Either ways. Second wicket for Gayle and he does his own celebrations. Stands there, shows some swagger, looks up at the heavens and then breaks into a jig. Tossed up outside off, Rahmat comes down the track and looks to flick but misses the ball and Shai Hope whips off the bails. Rahmat will be disappointed not to see his team home. Glimmer of hope for the Windies? They will certainly hope so. Because their opposition needs only 35 from 82 balls with 7 wickets in the bank.
