Conclusion

In conclusion, this Afghanistan vs West Indies game in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 should go in West Indies’ favour. Though Afghanistan are trying hard to make an upset while playing with the big teams, even they nearly did it with India, the lack of experience and inconsistent form led them to defeat. On the other hand, West Indies might have knocked out of the tournament, they have a couple of players who can single-handedly change the game in their way.
