Afghanistan vs West Indies Preview | Second T20I

AFGH vs WI Dream11 Match Prediction: Afghanistan will be wanting to make a comeback in the second T20I in order to stay alive in the series after enduring a 30 runs defeat to West Indies.

West Indies batting first scored 164 courtesy a solid knock of 68 from 41 deliveries from Evin Lewis, followed by a vital cameo of 32 from 22 balls by Kieran Pollard towards the end.

Afghanistan in reply could only manage 134 on the scoreboard. Kesrick Williams was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped three wickets for just 17 runs in four overs and was given good support by Sheldon Cottrell, Jason Holder and Pollard.

Afghanistan has limited time to lift their spirits as the series edges in favour of West Indies.
