Three matches three wins for the Windies and they start favourites to make it four out of four in their final Super 10 game against Afghanistan. The Asian side put up a fight against Sri Lanka and provided a mini scare to South Africa but haven't been able to seize the crucial moments and languish in the bottom. Will the Windies rest any key names ahead of the semifinal?

There it is! They have done it! The underdogs have once again managed to punch above their weight and this time, they have a victory to show for! Mohammad Nabi bowled a brilliant final over where he had to defend 10 runs. A nice gesture by Chris Gayle as he celebrates with the Afghan players. What a moment this is for them!

They want to stick to their winning formula even in a dead rubber as Sammy opts to bowl. The big news is Chris Gayle is rested. They aren't taking any chances with the big man after he injured himself against Sri Lanka.

Afghanistan (Playing XI): Usman Ghani, Mohammad Shahzad(w), Asghar Stanikzai(c), Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Samiullah Shenwari, Najibullah Zadran, Shafiqullah Shafiq, Rashid Khan, Hamid Hassan, Amir Hamza

West Indies (Playing XI): Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell, Denesh Ramdin(w), Darren Sammy(c), Carlos Brathwaite, Samuel Badree, Sulieman Benn

Not the greatest of starts for Lewis as he is dismissed for a 7-ball duck by Amir Hamza. Johnson Charles on the other hand smashed a couple of sixes off Mohammad Nabi. Andre Fletcher is the new man in at number 3.

Young Usman Ghani fails to make use of his opportunity as he doesn't pick the wrong one from Samuel Badree. The ball crashes onto the stumps and Afghanistan are dealt an early blow. Skipper Asghar Stanikzai is in at number 3.

In the last ball of the powerplay, Afghanistan lose Shehzad! That's a killer blow as he looked fluent yet again today. They will need a partnership to post 140 on this slow surface which will be more than competitive. Gulbadin Naib is in at number 4.

What a tournament he is having! He isn't someone who regularly picks wickets but today he has picked all three! Stanikzai hits him for a six and tries to repeat the shot but finds the fielder at long on. Samiullah Shenwari is out at number 5.

Afghanistan are falling apart here and surprisingly there is still no sign of Mohammad Nabi. Benn removes Shenwari for 1 and Najibullah Zadran walks out to bat next.

The skipper hasn't bowled at all in this tournament but Russell's injury has forced him to take the ball. And he gets rid of Gulbadin Naib! Nabi finally walks out to the middle but it looks like he has been sent in too late.

This is the most important phase now for Afghanistan, they need Nabi to bat through these overs and get them somewhere closer to 130. Najib has the reputation of being a big-hitter, so he is key as well.

He isn't going to fire with the bat today! Nabi hits one straight to Sammy but the skipper fails to latch on to the catch. But he takes the pace off it with his diving effort making it easier for Samuels to pouch. Afghanistan are yet to cross 100.

Take a bow Najibullah! When the rest faltered, he stood tall and scored some crucial runs in the end, to take his team to 123. It doesn't sound enough against a team that consists of so many power hitters but on this slow surface, in the absence of Gayle, you never know if they can manage to pick early wickets.

Hassan strikes! This came back in a little and Johnson Charles had no room to play a cut shot and loses his stumps. He played some delightful strokes in his short stay. Samuels is in at number 4.

Andre Fletcher is absolutely disappointed as he walks off the field with a hamstring injury. He is retired hurt and that brings Denesh Ramdin out to the middle. Can he recover in time for the semifinal?

Oh what a blow! The youngster, Rashid Khan has done it again as Samuels is cleaned up! The Windies are effectively four down now. Dwayne Bravo is the new man in.

At the halfway mark, the Windies are 58 for 3, further needing 66 in the next 10 overs. Bravo holds the key for the Windies with Fletcher unlikely to come out.

Mohammad Nabi was brought back on and he responds with the big wicket of Dwayne Bravo who was starting to get into his groove. West Indies now need 45 from 36. Russell is the new man in and if he bats for four overs, this should be easy. But a wicket can tilt the balance.

Ramdin's painstaking stay is brought to an end by Rashid Khan as he is stumped! This could be a blessing in disguise though as that has brought out the hard-hitting Darren Sammy. They need 35 from 24 balls now.

Shahzad hits a direct hit to catch Russell short of his crease and the celebrations are just a pure joy to watch. Carlos Brathwaite can use the long handle to good effect but the momentum is completely with the Afghans. Can they pull off an upset?
