Afghanistan would like to seal the T20I series against West Indies on Wednesday when they face off in the second encounter at the Dubai International Stadium. Against a West Indies side that have come without some of the first-team stars, a full-strength Afghanistan have been dominant with both and ball in the first game.
Batting first, Afghanistan lost both the openers before Ibrahim Zadran and Darwish Rasooli took the game away with their clean hitting to post a 180-plus total. In reply, the West Indies were never in the chase and kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. Playing his first match, Quentin Sampson did try his best but lacked support from the other end.
With two matches left to fine-tune their T20 World Cup 2026 preparations, both Afghanistan and West Indies would like to test their combinations and bench strength before flying to India and Sri Lanka next month.
Date: January 21
Time: 8:00 PM IST
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium
