West Indies’ history-making innings sets up dominant win over Afghanistan

The West Indies begin was actually jaw-dropping – it should be seen to be believed.

The second-over wicket of Brandon King (7 off 6) did little to halt the hosts’ momentum, as Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran each clicked into high gear, within the blink of an eye fixed.

Charles struck three boundaries within the third over, which impressed Pooran to do one thing actually out of this world on the change of ends. The keeper-batter exploded, producing a 36-run over off Azmatullah Omarzai’s bowling – 6, 5NB, 5WD, 0, 4LB, 4, 6, 6.

It’s the fifth time in Males’s T20I historical past an over has gone for 36 runs, the second time at a Males’s World Cup. The ultimate six of the Omarzai over noticed the partnership attain 50.

The punishment continued, because the pair surged West Indies’ rating to 92/1 on the six-over mark. It’s the most important Powerplay whole in Males’s T20 World Cup historical past.
