00:00Welcome to Ian Cup Afghanistan West Indies T20i series 2026 powered by Superkola West Indies
00:18won the toss interestingly decided to field and to the joy of Afghanistan allowed them to back first
00:30and I'm joined here by Samuel Badri and first quickly tell you how the Afghanistan side look
00:35again with four spinners and one change that is a couple changes for the West Indies are like
00:40Arsene is in Ramon Simmons is also in
00:51well Sabir on his debut international as an on-field umpire
00:54from Afghanistan and straight away on the money got some movement as well and that will be interesting
01:07yeah once again bowl it full and that will run down to the boundary just what you were talking about
01:13same mistake probably has been repeated
01:15consecutive half centuries searching a record for himself if he can get the five
01:23he'll join Sikandar Raza as the only other player in the world
01:28oh Rahmanullah Gurbuz plays this in the air and loses his wicket
01:34that's the wicket that they were offering they get that
01:37with the outswing oftentimes in the power play and that is a short boundary not tonight though
01:50Gurbuz rather now he has to go for one nine for one
01:57it's Ariel oh did he shell it did he drop it we were talking about how good their feeling has been in the
02:05last two overs yeah i thought that we weren't going to see this tonight another regulation catch for
02:12Evan Luisa and really made a mess of that
02:18this is Ariel but this is safe
02:21Ebrahim Zadran ice cold absolutely outstanding
02:27wow what a shot that is imperious Ebrahim Zadran back-to-back boundaries
02:48well he finishes the over with a glorious looking shot will that run down to the boundary remember
02:54that is the longest side of the field and it still wins the race closes the all with the boundary
03:0215 runs coming off that after four it's 33 for one
03:07Ford was excellent in the first over as well remember he contributed to the trot of boundaries in the
03:12power play 15 and now we'll find him but indeed the slower delivery does the trick
03:18Ebrahim threw with the shot and then the ball arrived only to hear the death rattle
03:22a mark of his batsmanship but he gets completely deceived by matthew ford it's a excellent bit of
03:30bowling four might have picked up the wicket lewis is smiling even bigger now 22 of 17 for
03:36Ebrahim Zadran 37 for two can he do that once again to rasoli
03:43generates the edge but that has just enough fuel to go beyond the fielder
03:47as well he's got two back-to-back boundaries two very streaky boundaries still searching for the
03:57middle of the bat
04:00this time in better control
04:04rasoli speaking only one language today
04:06that's classy will kiss the carpet of grass all throughout
04:19simmons under pressure rasoli gets going
04:22this one is on the pull should be another catch oh another drop a tough chance yes
04:36but at this level you've got to take these
04:42he's reached it that's the difficult part which he did easily hardly got a hand to it to us
04:47he goes there he goes again but this time it's met with the middle of the bat
04:55and then goes away for a maximum so that's really belligerent button from
05:00sidiq
05:02first boundary in 23 balls
05:07that's a tender stroke the first six of the innings
05:09full and smacked over midweek kick short boundaries on the onside
05:18this is a big trick
05:24destructive the rage rasoli you can't keep him out of action
05:28ever since he got going today he's been very uncomplicated with his approach to batting
05:44what a start to the over
05:45and that is 50 for darwaj rasoli dazzling 50. he has been finding some form back to back 50s to him
05:57raise your bat why not what a knock this has been
06:02oh that is sidiq if you haven't seen some of the glorious shots come to dubai international cricket
06:12stadium gone this is outstanding from both sidiq and the race
06:17so going into the world cup you want the striking of the bat of sidiq
06:34sidiq's turned up and asked what's the fuss about rasoli was a one going great gun sidiq is joining the party
06:41and very soon you might find him hosting it as well because one more hit of this ilk
06:48it is 90 and still counting because the rage rasoli has just gone into a destructive mode
06:59this is marvelous from rasoli
07:05just enjoying coming down the track still doesn't lose the sight of the ball
07:10sidiq is only one run shy of a glorious half century
07:17the 100 partnership comes up afghanistan finding middle order stability
07:28sidiq plays this in the air but that is safe and they take the single and complete the 50
07:34the stylish the solid sidiq al-atar gets to his fourth half century much needed for the very flamboyant
07:43sidiq al-atar with a bat in hand
07:44the partnership has been broken for the strikes
07:57the partnership has been broken for the strikes
08:01samson takes a pretty easy catch out in the middle right out in the deep there yeah time to settle himself
08:07well this time they make no mistake it's a quite brilliant innings 53 from 42 to fours three sixes it's
08:19152 for three
08:25this one is hit high is it far enough no it's not it'll be another comfortable catch
08:31he's not going to drop that
08:35wicked wicked
08:37straight delivery just slicing it rather than getting it from the middle of the bat
08:41getting high on the bat as well simple catch accepted
08:44so west indies to celebrate is out for a well-compiled half century 68 of 39 155 for four
08:54i'm going to try and rectify that now
08:57again it's wide it's a slow one is it a catch it is a catch oh and he's dropped another one
09:04carrie pier
09:05once again into the pitch slower delivery looking to take the catch not quite keeping his eyes on the ball
09:18he'll be looking in that area and yes he gets it he gets all of it
09:23he wasn't going to miss again
09:28well gets into great position he picks the length earlier and smacks it over mid-wicket
09:32and that's laundry not a problem
09:40standard treatment and does he go again yes he does just short though
09:46doesn't get uh all of it does muhammad nabi but enough for a four
09:52190 they will need the west indies of 120 balls
09:57one target and a single to get the innings off
10:12he got he gets enough on that occasion and goes away for four some so some innovation from alec
10:26athenes and they were desperate for something to happen and he gets a much needed boundary
10:32yeah well you call that they need to improvise a balling change slower delivery as much as i start
10:39with
10:44a quick single direct hits this would be close
10:49really good feeling in direct hits you never do know so the umpire would require some assistance
10:57from upstairs this is a nervous little period here for alec athenes and the west indies
11:05yes he's short courtesy directed from one of the finest feelers ibrahim zadran and going back after
11:12making eight west indies or nine for one
11:17yeah gives himself some room this time and dispatches it for four
11:21good use of the crease from brandon king i'm trying to manufacture some room
11:33oh just evades him we'll go away for a boundary a much needed boundary you can say again
11:40you can see close to that uh that line of danger
11:51this one's thump down the ground has it found the gap oh wow
11:57goodness me take a look at this again one-handed
12:00herculean effort on the boundary
12:06it's the end of five it's 26 for one
12:16has he found the gap here he has
12:20gets into double figures 16 deliveries later the ball tests the ropes
12:26it's a bit of a heave home onto that leg side boundary
12:33not the most uh attractive shots never nurse has played but it is effective
12:40listen he's finding some rhythm in the off
12:43oh what did it hit first the finger has risen
12:48loser stay has come to an end his wars against spin continues
12:57the game just gets rushed on that back foot it was uh smart bowling for muji a quicker one that skidded
13:03through we talked about the ball getting a little bit lower and a little bit slower
13:07so another disappointing outing for him 13 it's 38 for two
13:1327 in the first match for the wiki keeper batter and his experienced man
13:18he's got the the capability of 100 in this form oh my word carbon copy of brandon king in the first
13:30match that goes through the gate
13:32this one came back in sharply
13:43could be on a hat-trick whenever he falls next budget johnson charles gone for a duck 38-3
13:49hitmaier connects hitmaier gets a six if anything he was a little bit expensive more in game one
14:03and this is hitmaier in full flow there it is scintillating blow picks the length early
14:11mighty swing and makes a fantastic connection
14:14not quite getting the connection field swim is there but it's over in for six
14:26a good piece as well
14:29swung flat hard into the center for six
14:33and again he missed his length and this time on the fuller side
14:45so swung at my husband
14:49shot and pulled away flat strike for six from k
14:53he was desperate to get something from rashid khan
15:03short and pulled away
15:07over the boundary for six
15:10two sixes coming from the over west indies
15:13accelerating 72 for three
15:14110 to win from 49
15:21full cross and smacked it magnificently for six
15:26another great over from west indies perspective
15:3186 for three
15:32catch it catch it is the call
15:42but who is the question this one travels to
15:48hitmaier dealing in piggies
15:52what a shot
15:52now he does one bounce four
16:04even before noor could think and blink that ball went past him
16:12west indies have the momentum
16:13stand and deliver in the stands
16:20100 up and dealing with sixes
16:23this partnership is going great guns
16:27we talked about that decision to bowl first and chase well maybe they know something we don't
16:37that's in the air
16:39and the fielder makes absolutely no mistake
16:44yeah good innings comes to an end it's that mad zangran
16:46who's already inflicted pain on the west indies with a
16:49really quick run out there he takes a good catch good balance
16:55disappointed with himself it closing it on a 50
16:58it was six maximums there he goes it's 106 for four
17:07he's waited for the slower delivery once again peppered the same area
17:13he's picking the slower ones and picking the bones out of it too
17:20yeah he's done this well tonight hasn't he
17:27in the air
17:30but will fall safely reaches his half century king
17:34leading from the front
17:3550 or 40 deliveries and is continuing to tread on his 14th in t20 eyes well done brandon king
17:44one two two four four
17:45mujib on a hat-trick that's up in the air and taken
17:53hat-trick for the magician
17:57mujib gets through the opposition skipper
17:59west indies in deeper trouble suddenly
18:07went high he didn't get all of it he knew that the moment he hit it it was a very comfortable
18:13catch and will give mujib that was a gift of sorts and well the king onslaught
18:19any chance west indies had of a victory he feels just shading with every wicket 50 he goes for
18:26four big sixes 122 for five oh he's bolded he's done him all ends up and we've seen this before
18:38perhaps the batter hasn't
18:41this time kept it straight quick and it did the trick indeed
18:52the shout of catch it
18:54and taken
18:56you can't keep russian khan
18:59without a wicket for too long
19:02another wicket for an Afghan spinner
19:04the captain this time 694 t20 wickets keep an eye on that
19:14oh that's close that's close that's close
19:16finger raised another one down to russia khan
19:24well we know they can hit gandé
19:28welcome boundary this from pair to break the shackles
19:42now once again a big heave towards the left side this is 10 runs in the last two deliveries
19:49remember now the equation has come down to 47 of 14
20:01short ball going for the pull regardless and parishes
20:04one shot too many and asmatullah omarzai finally has the last half
20:12over the western is in this format
20:15quite understandably carrie pale looking for another maximum
20:19didn't get it anywhere close to the middle
20:2320 runs have come off the last four deliveries and then a wicket
20:26and this is also in the air
20:31and a brilliant catch from the master
20:35rashid khan
20:37well we've already seen one register in this game a hat-trick that is
20:42samar joseph aiming the leg side instead spooning one to rashid khan offside
20:48and this time around goes it's slower and well wait my motive we know he can bat
21:05yeah this is in the air we know we know we know he can hit but that is in the air and taken
21:10and this is what happened afghanistan were put to bat and they got 189 for courtesy brilliant batting
21:33from the viciously who got 68 of 39 sidikul atal well king got a half century but once again
21:39again filled to mujib zadran hit maya until he was there there were hopes that bangla uh west indies
21:45could well win this context contest at the end afghanistan winning it by 39 runs in leading the series 2-0
