TEAMS PREVIEW
Preview of the West Indies
The team led by Rovman Powell has won three straight games to propel them into the tournament’s Super 8. In their most difficult match, they triumphed over New Zealand by 13 runs and will have confidence. Their bowling attack has performed admirably, and their batsmen are in fine form. Powell would anticipate a commanding victory and a spectacular transition to the next round for his team.
Johnson Charles and Brandon King will try to challenge the Afghan bowlers and establish an explosive alliance at the top.
Powell, Roston Chase, and Nicholas Pooran should all put in excellent performances for the side, which boasts a formidable middle order. Strong hitters Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, and Andre Russell bolster the middle-order batting lineup.
The West Indies require early wickets from Akeal Hosein and Romario Shepherd, the new ball combination, as the Afghans have scored effectively in the competition. The side will anticipate tight spells from Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie in the middle overs, as they both bowled effectively in the previous three games. The attack is strengthened by the variety that Russell and Roston Chase bring to it.
West Indies Predicted Starting XI: Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Rovman Powell (c), Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Roston Chase,
Preview of Afghanistan
Before this match, Rashid Khan and his team will be full of confidence. They arrive here having defeated Papua New Guinea by seven wickets and having won their previous three matches. They will have a difficult task against the hosts, particularly with regard to their bowlers. Khan wants his guys to play this game clinically so they can go into the next round with a lot of confidence.
The team requires a consistent performance from its openers, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, who have performed well at the top. Given how effectively the middle order performed in the competition, they can anticipate collaborations amongst Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib. Rashid Khan, Karim Janat, and Najibullah Zadran offer more firepower to the team’s formidable batting lineup.
The bowling assault is expected to get early hits from Mohammad Nabi and Fazalhaq Farooqi, who have been at their best in the last three games. Two of the team’s most important bowlers, Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq, need to perform well in the middle overs. This attack is made more varied by Janat, Noor Ahmed, and Azmatullah Omarzai.
Afghanistan’s predicted starting eleven includes Karim Janat, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, and Najibullah Zadran.
Weather Situations
At St. Lucia, the sky would be clear with peculiar clouds. During the game, the humidity would be high. Batsmen will appreciate hitting the ball on the flat track. As the ball gets a little older and the pitch wears down, the spinners will perform well.
WI against AFG Report on Pitch
Gros Islet, St. Lucia’s Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is well-known for being a batsman’s paradise. With a flat surface, scoring runs is made easier by the smaller boundaries. Fast bowlers have limited success on this surface, while spinners who toss the ball up have had success.
Throw: To Bat
At the beginning of the game, the batting surface has been good. Batting first teams have had more victories. We anticipate that the captain who wins the toss will decide to bat first and try to record a high score.
WI vs AFG Winning Prediction
Afghanistan has had incredible success in this competition. Both their bowling and batting lineups have performed admirably in trying circumstances. But in order to prevail, they will have to bowl effectively in what will be their hardest test to date. The West Indies boast a potent batting and bowling team that covers every base. When they play this game at home, they will quickly become favourites.
West Indies to win.
