West Indies scored a healthy total on an unpredictable surface despite losing three wickets during their powerplay; however, their poor fielding allowed Afghanistan to score several key runs and was even less reliable during death overs. They dropped several catchable catches which should have been caught.

West Indies will look to improve their performance against Afghanistan on Sunday in their second matchup. They must focus on making significant advancements in both batting and spin bowling departments and find ways to deal with Afghanistan’s spin attack.
