In a thrilling T20 World Cup 2024 match between West Indies and Afghanistan, Nicholas Pooran played a fantastic innings of 98 runs off 53 balls, guiding West Indies to a total of 218/5 in 20 overs. The bowlers then delivered a superb performance to secure a convincing 104-run victory against Afghanistan at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in St Lucia.
The match was highly anticipated as both teams had already qualified for the Super Eight stage, with the winner of this match set to finish at the top of Group C. Despite being unavailable for the game due to the birth of his second child, Romario Shepherd was replaced by Obed McCoy who shone with three wickets in as many overs. Shai Hope also took over Royston Chase’s place in the lineup.
After an early loss of Brendon King and Johnson Charles, Pooran joined forces with Charles to put on a brilliant partnership that took West Indies to 92/1 in the powerplay, which was their highest Powerplay score in T20 World Cups. Although Afghanistan’s spinners slowed down their scoring rate in the middle overs, Pooran’s explosive batting towards the end of the innings helped West Indies achieve their highest total ever in T20 World Cups.
