Both the teams hope for a morale-lifting win in the dead rubber
Windies are coming off a defeat against Sri Lanka while Afghanistan are returning after suffering a loss against Pakistan. However, Windies have shown promise on numerous occasions but have failed to capitalize on opportunities. Afghanistan, on the other hand, have appeared sloppy on all fronts. Although they have given close fights to their opponents on some occasions, they have failed to capitalize any.
However, they will take some confidence from their previous matches against Windies as they have managed to win three out of four matches which also includes a 7-wicket win against them in ICC World Cup Qualifier last year.
