00:00Welcome to Iain Cup of Afghanistan, West Indies T20i series 2026 powered by Superkola.
00:27West Indies won the toss, interestingly decided to field.
00:34And to the joy of Afghanistan, allowed them to bat first.
00:40And I'm joined here by Samuel Badri and I'll first quickly tell you how the Afghanistan side look again with four spinners.
00:46And one change that is a couple changes for the West Indies, Alec Athines is in, Ramon Simmons is also in.
00:57Well, Sabir on his debut international as an on-field umpire from Afghanistan and straight away on the money got some movement as well.
01:11And that will be interesting.
01:14Yeah, once again, ball it full and that will run down to the boundary.
01:21Just what you were talking about.
01:23Same mistake probably has been repeated.
01:26Consecutive half centuries searching a record for himself.
01:31If he can get the five, he'll join Sikandar Raza as the only other player in the world.
01:38Oh, Rahmanullah Gurbuz placed this in the air and loses his wicket.
01:44That's the wicket that they were after and they get that.
01:47With the outswing, often times in the power play.
01:56That is a short boundary, not tonight though.
01:59Gurbuz rather.
02:01Now he has to go for one, nine for one.
02:07It's Ariel, oh, did he shell it? Did he drop it?
02:12We were talking about how good their feeling has been in the last two overs.
02:16Yeah, I thought that we weren't going to see this tonight.
02:20Another regulation catch for Evan Lewis and really made a mess of that.
02:28This is Ariel, but this is safe.
02:32Ebrahim Zadran, ice cold, absolutely outstanding.
02:42Wow, what a shot that is.
02:45Imperious Ebrahim Zadran, back to back boundaries.
02:58Well, he finishes the over with a glorious looking shot.
03:02Will that run down to the boundary?
03:04Remember that is the longest side of the field and it still wins the race.
03:08Closes the oar with the boundary.
03:1115 runs coming off that.
03:13After Ford, it's 33 for one.
03:17Ford was excellent in the first over as well.
03:19Remember, he contributed to the drought of boundaries in the power play.
03:2215.
03:23And now we'll find him, but indeed, the slower delivery does the trick.
03:28Ebrahim threw with the shot and then the ball arrived only to hear the death rattle.
03:32A mark of his batsmanship, but he gets completely deceived by Matthew Ford.
03:39It's an excellent bit of bowling.
03:42Ford made a big double wicket.
03:43Lewis is smiling even bigger now.
03:4522 of 17 for Ebrahim Zadran.
03:4737 for two.
03:49Can you do that once again to Rasoli?
03:52Generates the edge, but that has just enough fuel to go beyond the fielder.
04:00Rasooli has got two back-to-back boundaries.
04:03Two very streaky boundaries.
04:06Still searching for the middle of the bat.
04:10This time in better control.
04:12Rasooli is speaking only one language today.
04:15Rasooli is speaking only one language today.
04:16.
