Afghanistan vs West Indies, 2nd T20I, Afghanistan v West Indies in UAE, 2026 - Highlights

Motie to Nabi, FOUR, length ball on off, Nabi clears his front leg to heave it across the line. Long-on dives to his right and it's out of his reach. One bounce and into the fence. 19 runs off the final over

Motie to Azmatullah, SIX, incredible shot! Fullish ball on leg, Omarzai makes room, gets under it and tonks it over extra cover. Generates enough power to clear the rope

Motie to Azmatullah, SIX, fraction short, Omarzai moves leg-side and it allows him to swing his arms. Pummelled over deep midwicket with a ferocious pull shot for an 87m six

Shamar Joseph to Azmatullah, 1 run, dropped! Slower ball into the deck, Omarzai flat-bats the pull to long-on. Khary Pierre runs in from long-on and puts it down. Misjudges, hits his wrists and then cops a blow on the groin area. Pierre is in pain and the physio is out to tend to him. The batsmen, meanwhile, sip a drink

Shamar Joseph to Azmatullah, FOUR, short and wide, Omarzai stands tall and throws his arms to slap it over extra cover. A couple of bounces and into the fence

Simmonds to Darwish Rasooli, out Caught by Athanaze!! 128.1kph, slow and full, Rasooli makes room to go downtown and ends up slicing the loft. More height than distance. Athanaze backpedals at mid-off to take the catch. Darwish Rasooli c Athanaze b Simmonds 68(39) [4s-5 6s-3]

Forde to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Quentin Sampson!! Holes out! 123.1kph, off-cutter on a short length, Sediqullah Atal pulls behind square on the leg-side.

Sediqullah Atal c Quentin Sampson b Forde 53(42) [4s-2 6s-3]

Forde to Darwish Rasooli, FOUR, 123kph, nicely played! Very full and outside off, Rasooli stays leg-side of the ball and opens the bat-face to guide it fine of the short third man fielder. Afghanistan go past 150 with that boundary

Shamar Joseph to Sediqullah Atal, 1 run, fullish outside off, Atal reaches out to slice it over point. The single brings up Sediqullah Atal's 4th T20I fifty. The left-hander raises his bat

Motie to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, fired down leg, Atal gets low to sweep hard. He loses his balance but he's made good contact to send it to the fine leg fence. A tumbling sweep shot and the boundary brings up the century partnership between the duo

Motie to Darwish Rasooli, SIX, muscled! Length ball angling in towards off, Rasooli clears his front leg to bludgeon it over cow corner for a monstrous six

Simmonds to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, 103.3kph, slower ball and on a short of length, Atal spots it early, waits and slams it over deep midwicket with a pull shot. 85m six from the left-hander

Simmonds to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, that's a gift and Atal accepts it happily! Shin-high full toss on the pads, Atal uses the bowler's angle to flick it nonchalantly over deep backward square leg for an 81m six

Khary Pierre to Darwish Rasooli, 1 run, 27-ball fifty for Darwish Rasooli! Short of length, punched to long-off. Back-to-back half-centuries for the right-hander

Khary Pierre to Sediqullah Atal, 1 run, flighted ball, full in length, driven down to long-off. Fifty partnership

Motie to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, shot! Tossed up around off, the length allowed Atal to get under it, he crouches low and slog sweeps over deep mid-wicket. It was the attempted wrong 'un from Motie which didn't come out right..

Simmonds to Sediqullah Atal, 1 run, dropped! Now Pierre puts one down. He does all the hard work of getting there but does not hang on. Slower ball angled down leg, Atal swivels around and pulls to deep backward square, Pierre runs to his right and bends down, goes with both hands but does not take the catch

Simmonds to Darwish Rasooli, 2 runs, full pitcher outside off, Rasooli reaches and drives, the outside edge runs down to third man and there's a slight fumble, enough for Rasooli to scamper back for the second. The third umpire has a look and makes an easy decision

Simmonds to Darwish Rasooli, FOUR, four from four for Rasooli. Another one that rockets off the middle. Short and angled across, Rasooli waits for the ball and punches it in front of square. There were two fielders at cover and he managed to split them with precision

Simmonds to Darwish Rasooli, FOUR, that's right off the middle and there's no stopping that. Short and slanted across, Rasooli stands tall and cracks it in front of square. The ball reached the fence in a jiffy

Simmonds to Darwish Rasooli, FOUR, another streaky four from Rasooli. Good length ball angled across, he sees the width and throws his bat oin the drive, the outside edge flies over short third

Forde to Darwish Rasooli, FOUR, streaky! Well-directed short ball and Rasooli takes his eyes off the ball, goes through with the pull and the top-edge flies over short fine, lands safely and races away to the fence

Forde to Ibrahim Zadran, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Forde should have had Ibrahim in his previous over but gets him this time. Smart piece of bowling. 111.7ks slower off-cutter, pitches and breaks in a tad, Ibrahim is rooted to the crease and swings across the line, misses and the ball hits the top of off-stump. Big wicket for West Indies as Ibrahim was the in-form batter and he departs within the powerplay. Ibrahim Zadran b Forde 22(17) [4s-4]

Forde to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, shot! Ibrahim shimmies down and is met by a shortened length, he has enough space to loft it straight back over Forde, the timing is too good and Motie's attempted boot-stop goes in vain

Shamar Joseph to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, big over, 15 runs. Not a bad delivery - good length ball outside off, Atal had the width and he didn't miss out, drives it on the up through extra cover and the ball has enough to trickle into the longest part of the ground

Shamar Joseph to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, "catch" shouted Shamar. But this is nowhere close to the fielder. Short of length delivery, but the pitch does not have the pace or bounce to trouble Ibrahim, he gets into a superb position and nails the pull flat, places it in front of square and evades the fielder comfortably

Shamar Joseph to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, this is classic Ibrahim. Too straight from Shamar - on off and middle, Ibrahim brings the bottom hand into play and whips it over mid-wicket, no big followthrough of the bat, just a short-arm jab and the ball flies away

Forde to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, dropped! Lewis has put down a sitter. He points towards the light. Forde was starting his celebrations but stops quickly - that's how easy the catch was. Good length ball, angled in and Ibrahim flicks it straight to mid-wicket. The ball goes at a nice height and Lewis makes a mess. He moves to his left, bends a bit and tries to reverse cup it, the ball does not stick and goes down. Not sure why he went reverse cup, the conventional way would have done the job. How costly will that miss prove?

Shamar Joseph to Gurbaz, out Caught by Khary Pierre!! Gurbaz goes cheaply! Shamar strikes with his second ball. The plan and execution was perfect. They had a deep backward point instead of a third man. Gurbaz saw the fullish delivery and throws his bat on the drive, the ball swings away and flies off the outer half, Pierre settles under and pouches it safely. West Indies have once again got an early wicket.. Gurbaz c Khary Pierre b Shamar Joseph 1(4)

Forde to Ibrahim Zadran, leg byes, FOUR,

Forde to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, Ibrahim opens his account with a boundary. Full pitcher outside off, not swing this time for Forde, Ibrahim leans forward and creams the drive square. No stopping that..
