In match 40 of the T20 World Cup 2024, Group C's Super 8-bound West Indies and Afghanistan lock horns in their final group stage game at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia on Monday (June 17).

After starting off with a scrappy win over Papua New Guinea, West Indies are slowly but steadily finding their rhythm. Rovman Powell's side brushed aside Uganda and New Zealand in their next two outings to book a Super 8 spot.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, have had a flawless campaign so far. Rashid Khan and Co. are enjoying the conditions that the Carribean pitches are offering. Gaining momentum is the only thing at stake in the final Group C clash with both teams having qualified for the Super Eights.

For Afghanistan, opener Rahamanullah Gurbaz (167 runs) and pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi (12 wickets) are currently leading the chart of run-makers and wicket-takers respectively, showcases their fine run in this ICC showpiece.

Besides Gurbaz, the experienced Ibrahim Zadran has also made significant contributions collecting 114 runs with a highest score of 70. But the Afghans who have a lot of right hand batters will have their task cut out against left-arm spinners Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie.

The Afghans themselves have no dearth of spinners with the likes of skipper Rashid and young Noor Ahmad, who bowled economically against Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, in their ranks. So, the flamboyant West Indies batters won't find it very easy.
