Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting will depend a lot on the likes of Mohammad Shahzad, Rahmat Shah, Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran. Shahzad will be returning after serving a two-match suspension and he will be looking to make a fitting comeback with a good knock. Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi will be the ones to watch out for when it comes to bowling. Nabi and Khan took seven wickets between them against Nepal and Afghanistan will back the spin duo to do the job for them against a powerful West Indian batting line-up.

West Indies vs Afghanistan Prediction
Afghanistan have been below par in this tournament, losing three of their four matches in the group stage. Their solitary win came against Nepal in their previous match and they narrowly made it through to the Super Sixes round. West Indies on the other hand have crushed every opponent that has come in its way. With four wins in four matches, momentum is definitely going to be on their side and so we predict the Windies to continue their winning run.
Final Verdict: Back West Indies to beat Afghanistan at 1.35 on Unibet and 1.15 on 1xbet.
