WI beat AFG by 5 wickets | Afghanistan vs West Indies, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match - Commentary

The ball is turning but dew might come into play, so can Afghanistan avoid a whitewash? Join us after the break to find out.

So 250 is the target for West Indies if they are to inflict a first-ever whitewash in ODIs for Afghanistan. Can West Indies start West Indies tenure with a win?

West Indies will be disappointed with their bowling performance at the death. From overs 46 to 49, they conceded 50 runs. Keemo Paul was the pick of the bowlers picking up 3 wickets. He was brilliant throughout the day apart from his final over where he conceded 16 off his overall tally of 44 runs. Chase was good once again. Being economical and picking up a wicket. Alzarri Joseph got two scalps to his name but was expensive. Shepherd was the other bowler to get into the wickets column. It was a miserable day for Hayden Walsh as he went for more than 7 rpo in his 7 overs, giving away 51 runs.

After being put into bat, Afghanistan once again got off to a bad start losing debutant Ibrahim Zadran early. Rahmat Shah too struggled but a fifty from Hazratullah Zazai made the total a bit more respectable. Apart from that, the hosts were struggling before Asghar Afghan and Mohammad Nabi showed their maturity. The duo took their time, churned out singles and doubles, got their eyes in and then went berserk in the final overs. The duo added 127 runs with both the batters getting to their fifties. Afghan was the star and was unlucky to miss out on a well-deserved 100.

Excellent last over from Romario Shepherd. His brilliant work in the final over has stopped Afghanistan from reaching 260 but the final fury belonged to the hosts. It looked like Afghanistan would struggle to get to even 230 but the experienced duo of Nabi and Afghan ensured West Indies would need to chase their highest total against Afghanistan if they are to win here.

Hello and a warm welcome to our coverage of the third ODI between Afghanistan and West Indies. Afghanistan are going through a rough patch having lost 11 matches in a row starting from the World Cup. They have never been whitewashed in ODIs but the way they are playing right now, it seems highly likely that a whitewash is on the cards. West Indies, on the other hand, have been prolific in all the departments of the game. Their batting has clicked while the bowling department has done wonderfully well. This is their chance to whitewash a team after 5 years. Can they do it? Join us in a while to find out.
