This pitch looks like batsmen will enjoy the ball coming onto the bat from the pace bowlers

Afghanistan is packed with spin bowlers

Question: can these be called 'matches' (ie 16th Match) in the context of the tournament when they're essentially training games, 15-a-side, stats aren't official, that kind of thing?

8.2
Hayden Walsh to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX, just over the rope. Tossed up around off, Zazai goes for the slog sweep and gets a lot of air time,

Good 50 by Zazai

In reply to Tryangle

Out!
Walsh gets Zazai

8.5
Hayden Walsh to Hazratullah Zazai, out Caught by Lewis!! Walsh breaks the partnership. Much needed for the West Indies. Zazai was not going to hold back against the leggie. He does not read the googly but still goes for the slog sweep, the top-edge goes straight up and Lewis settles under it near deep mid-wicket. Took it well but might have hurt his fingers in the process.

Yeah man

I'm afraid WI could well be on the way to losing this. Hope I'm wrong and they stem this innings and biff The Afghani bowing for a big and important win. We should never lose to them, no sah not with all those experienced men.

Afghan not winning this ....UB will score big today

In reply to Narper

This is looking like a 220+ score...

In reply to Seechy

Afghans taking our bowlers to the cleaners and many fans wasting their energies on criticizing Gayle, when we have many more problems to comtemplate, like the loss of Allen which will be a huge void. As someone said before the only positive about this match so far, is that it is a warm-up match. Lets hope that WI takes longer to warm up than others and will be ready to play in the real upcoming matches.

17.1
Rampaul to Gurbaz, 3 runs, has Evin Lewis injured himself? This warm-up is costing West Indies quite a bit, did all the hard yards, stayed right at the boundary, leapt as high as he could - took a one-handed catch, threw the ball back and then must have landed badly as he jumped over the advertising boards. The physio has come out to have a look - there is a picket fence right behind the boundarey board and think Lewis might have landed badly on it - has he rolled his ankle? He's limping back into the dug-out - West Indies will hope it's nothing serious as such. he's chatrting with the physio and is showing the fence- must have hurt himself

Geez West Indies doesn't need any more injuries to their side.

18.2
Obed McCoy to Najibullah, out Caught by Akeal Hosein!! They have finally taken a catch - back of a length and at the hips, Najibullah picked the length early, swivelled across and helped it on its way, didn't bother to keep it down and hit it right into the hands of Akeal at deep backward square leg.

19.2
Russell to Asghar Afghan, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Another slower short ball outside off and Afghan is way too early into the pull, is through with the shot early, gets a big inside edge and the off-stump takes a beateing. West Indies have been poor with the ball, but they're finishing alright.

Nabi to Simmons, out Caught by Najibullah!! A two-ball duck for Simmons, had to go for his shots with his team needing 190, but he finds deep mid-wicket to perfection. Nicely tossed up on off, he went down low on the slog-sweep, struck it pretty well, but didn't bother to place it - right into the hands of Najibullah, running in from the deep.

Of the 3 matches being played WI's is at the bottom of the page and that's not new. How the mighty have fallen

4.1
Nabi to Lewis, out Bowled!! That's a superb delivery and Lewis had no clue about it - pitched up, angled into the left-hander and then straightened a bit, Lewis was half-forward as he looked to defend, past the outside edge and crashes into the off-stump. Early signs that the West Indian big-hitters will not have it their way in this World Cup.

6.3
Nabi to Hetmyer, out Caught&Bowled!! Chipped back at the bowler! Third wicket for Nabi. Full, in-dart, Hetmyer gets forward and drives firmly. However, he's it straight at the bowler. Nabi doesn't err, safely snaffles with both hands.

8.6
Rashid Khan to Roston Chase, FOUR, overpitched and Roston Chase punishes. With a stride forward, he smashes it straight down the ground. Over the umpire's head and Chase didn't bother to run

9.1
Karim Janat to Pooran, FOUR, misjudges! Full from round the wicket, Pooran takes the aerial route and goes over and decides to go over long-on. Doesn't quite time it. Long-on charges in to much and lets it go over his head. That should have been a straightforward grab but he's made a mess of it

9.6
Karim Janat to Pooran, FOUR, poor ball! Overpitched delivery on the pads, easy pickings for Pooran who flicks it away fine of the man at 45. 11 runs off the over

13.1
Hamid to Pooran, FOUR, over the wicket, back of a length, leg-lined, with one leg off the ground, Pooran pulls it backward of square on the leg-side. Long leg can't clean it up

13.4
Hamid to Roston Chase, FOUR, edged and four! Short of length, Chase clears his front leg and flashes his blade hard. A thick outside edge and the ball speeds away

Karim Janat to Roston Chase, 5 wides, oh dear! That's miles down the leg-side. No chance for the keeper to even get close to it. Five runs gifted away

14.3
Karim Janat to Pooran, FOUR, to deep square leg

14.4
Karim Janat to Pooran, out Caught by Nabi!! Holed out! Was in the hitting arc and Pooran made decent contact with his attempted loft as he bent his back leg. However he didn't get the required elevation and hit that straight to long-on where Nabi takes a safe and calm catch.

Pooran c Nabi b Karim Janat 35(26) [4s-4 6s-1]

WI 99/4 (15) CRR: 6.6 REQ: 18.2
West Indies need 91 runs in 30 balls

15.1
Hamid to Roston Chase, SIX, shouts of 'catch it' but Rashid is a mere spectator in the deep. Short and into the right-hander, Chase moves leg-side and muscles it over deep mid-wicket with a pull shot

15.3
Hamid to Russell, 2 runs, shortish ball, Russell swings and swats it over extra cover. Didn't quite middle it and runs the second run lethargically. He was just jogging and the keeper dislodged the bails. Big shout for a run-out appeal but struck down by the square leg ump. Replays show that he didn't ground the bat! He should have been a goner

18.2
Karim Janat to Russell, FOUR, short of length, Russell moves leg-side and pulls hard. Off the inside edge and the ball speeds away to the backward square leg fence. Deep square leg sprints to his right but can only watch the ball hit the ropes

19.2
Naveen-ul-Haq to Russell, out Caught by Gulbadin!! Russell has a look at his willow as he walks back. Off-speed full ball, Russell crouches to slog it over cow corner. Gets it off the bottom part of the bat and hits it straight down long-on's throat. End of a scratchy knock from Russell.

Russell c Gulbadin b Naveen-ul-Haq 11(16) [4s-1]

Next time we might send West Indies Women team to play them, they might default the match and a win for us.

Except for WC 2011 what has Andre Russell ever done for WI at a tournament? in the last WC all he did was bowl down Pakistan, swipe and collapse the inning vs. Oz when we were on target with sensible batting then limped off to the hospital next match
