WI vs Afg News
Several records were broken during the West Indies' 104-run victory over Afghanistan. Nicholas Pooran smashed 8 sixes during his knock of 98.
But Stanikzai said he believes his team, who lost a T20 series 3-0, did enough to show they deserve more regular matches against full member nations of the International Cricket Council.
Afghanistan struggled against the extra pace and bounce of the home seam attack, making just 135 off 37.3 overs, the lowest ODI total at the Darren Sammy Stadium.
After opener Javed Ahmadi`s 81 provided the foundation for the visitors` total of 212 for six batting first, the leg-spinner Khan tore through an inept home team batting line-up to claim the fourth-best bowling figures ever in an ODI
Replying to the tourists' total of 146 for six, the right-hander's highest-ever T20 International innings took the home side to the target with four balls to spare and completed a 3-0 series sweep.
Set a revised target of 123 after the hosts were limited to 112 for three in a match reduced to 15 overs per side, the Afghans were routed for just 93 off 13.3 overs with fast bowler Kesrick Williams leading the demolition with figures of three for 11 to take the "Man of the Match" award.
In one of the previous matches against Afghanistan, Braithwaite had hit a huge six over deep midwicket that went all the way for 100 metres!
