West Indies’ Record-Breaking Innings Overwhelms Afghanistan in T20 World Cup

In a display of sheer dominance, the West Indies cricket team sent a resounding message to their opponents by cruising past Afghanistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, securing their spot in the next phase with an unbeaten record.

A Historic Powerplay

The West Indies’ batting performance at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground was nothing short of historic. Despite losing Brandon King early, Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran unleashed a batting frenzy. Pooran’s explosive 36-run over off Azmatullah Omarzai’s bowling etched itself into the record books, marking only the fifth time in Men’s T20I history that an over yielded 36 runs, and the second time at a Men’s World Cup.

Shattering Records

The West Indies’ Powerplay score of 92/1 set a new record for the highest total in Men’s T20 World Cup history. They surpassed Afghanistan’s previous highest conceded total of 95 against Papua New Guinea before the seventh over concluded.

Charles and Pooran’s Stand

An 80-run partnership between Charles and Pooran in just six overs propelled the West Indies to a commanding position. Charles’ departure after scoring 43 off 27 balls did little to slow down the momentum.

Hope and Pooran Keep the Pace

Shai Hope contributed a quickfire 25 off 17 balls, while Pooran reached his half-century in the 14th over, his first in a T20 World Cup. Although boundaries became scarce for a period, Rovman Powell’s six in the 16th over pushed the score past 150.

 

Pooran’s Near Century

Pooran reignited his boundary-hitting prowess, especially against Rashid Khan, who conceded 45 runs without taking a wicket. Andre Russell joined Pooran towards the innings’ end, with Pooran narrowly missing out on a century, run out for 98 off 53 balls after a remarkable throw from Omarzai.

 

Afghanistan’s Uphill Battle

Faced with a daunting total of 218/5 – West Indies’ highest in T20 World Cups – Afghanistan lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early. Gulbadin Naib and Ibrahim Zadran steadied the ship, but the mountainous target proved too steep to climb.

The Lions’ Roar: Sri Lanka’s Batting Prowess

The day began with high stakes as the Netherlands eyed a spot in the Super Eights. However, their hopes were quickly dashed as Bangladesh secured their progression in a simultaneous match. Unfazed, Sri Lanka took to the field with determination after being sent in by the Dutch.

 

Kamindu Mendis set the early pace with a steady 17 off 20 balls before being dismissed in the sixth over. The Lions were at a respectable 45/2 at this point, but it was the partnership between Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva that truly set the stage for a strong finish. Mendis’ aggressive 46 off 29 balls and de Silva’s boundary-laden innings pushed Sri Lanka to 74/2 at the halfway mark.

 

The momentum continued as Charith Asalanka joined forces with de Silva, adding quick runs and maintaining an aggressive batting stance. Asalanka’s fiery 46 off 21 balls, along with Angelo Matthews’ rapid 30* off 15, propelled Sri Lanka to an impressive total of 201/6, equalling the top score of the tournament.

The Dutch Resistance: A Spirited Chase

In response, the Netherlands made an inspired start with openers Michael Levitt and Max O’Dowd maximizing their Powerplay opportunities. Despite losing O’Dowd early, Levitt’s 31 off 23 balls kept Dutch hopes alive. However, Sri Lanka’s bowling attack, spearheaded by captain Winindu Hasaranga, began to tighten its grip on the match.

 

Hasaranga’s spell was particularly devastating, claiming key wickets at crucial moments and effectively stalling the Dutch chase. The Netherlands found themselves reeling at 83/7 after a five-wicket haul over five overs.

Closing Moments: Sri Lanka’s Triumph

Captain Scott Edwards’ top-scoring effort of 31 runs off 24 balls was commendable but ultimately not enough to turn the tide. Sri Lanka’s bowlers sealed the victory by dismissing the Netherlands for 118 runs.

Reflections on a Proud Finish

This match was more than just a win for Sri Lanka; it was a statement of resilience and skill. As they exit the World Cup stage, they do so with heads held high, having demonstrated their cricketing prowess in a memorable finale.

Shakib Al Hasan: The Star Performer

Shakib Al Hasan was the standout performer of the day, scoring an unbeaten 64 runs and helping Bangladesh post a competitive total of 159/5. His performance was particularly impressive given the challenging pitch conditions, which made big-hitting far from straightforward.

Bangladesh Bowlers Seal the Deal

The Bangladesh bowlers completed the job, restricting the Dutch to 134/8 in the chase, falling 25 runs short. Despite each of the top five in the Netherlands batting order reaching double figures, wickets fell too frequently for the Dutch to sustain their required run-rate.

Shakib Stars in Bangladesh Innings

The Dutch struck the first blow of the day, winning the toss and opting to bowl first. However, a fiery partnership between Tanzid Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan saw Bangladesh accelerate towards a competitive score.

The Result

The result puts Bangladesh in control of their fate in Group D and the likely qualifiers along with South Africa. The Netherlands still have an outside chance of qualifying, but the permutations are complicated with just one match, against Sri Lanka, still to play.
