Afghanistan kept their hopes alive for a place in the ICC World Cup 2019 when they defeated the West Indies by three wickets. Afghanistan restricted West Indies to 197-8 in 50 overs on a good batting surface and then achieved the target with 14 balls to spare.
The feature of Afghanistan's win was their four-pronged spin attack that included wrist-spinner Rashid Khan, off-spinners Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Rahman, and left-arm spinner Sharafuddin Ashraf. The slow bowlers bowled 39 overs between them in which they conceded 138 runs and snapped up seven wickets. Mujeeb was the most successful bowler with 3-33, while Nabi bagged 2-43, including the wicket of Marlon Samuels for his 100th ODI scalp.
