Leeds When teams of Afghanistan and the West Indies came in the World Cup, it was expected that these teams would do something special, but it turned out to be the opposite. In the West Indies account, only one win in eight matches. Afghanistan is still waiting to win after eight games. Now both of these teams will face face-to-face on the Headingley field on Thursday and both of them will have to end the seven ICC World Cup-2015.
Both teams have long been out of the semi-final race and now every match has become a fight for goodwill.
West Indies won a match. He had defeated Pakistan in the first match, but after that, he could not win. He looked towards a win against Australia, New Zealand, but due to his mistakes, he was away from victory.
Afghanistan also showed good competition in some matches but could not show the patience needed to win. When this team came into the World Cup then it was expected that a couple would turn around. This hope got dashed.
In the last match, he has the opportunity to win, but in any case, it will not be easy for him to face the West Indies. Chita West Indies will also be there.
The reason for this is Afghanistan's strong spin bowling attack, which has names like Rashid Khan, Mujib ur Rahaman and Mohammed Nabi. Spin is the weakness of the stormy batters of the West Indies, whose wickets quickly fall in an effort to make runs against them.
In such a situation, Chris Gayle, Ink Hop, Nicholas Puran, Shimron Hatmayer and Carlos Brathwaite will play against Afghanistan. At the same time, the same alert will be Afghanistan as if the batting of the West Indies has started, then the fielder of Afghanistan will only be able to lift the ball from across the border.
A name in this World Cup in the West Indies bowling has been the subject of discussion. They are Sheldon Cottrell. This young man has done the best and Oshaye Thomas has done his best. Kemar Roach and Shanan Gabriel have been out in the team from inside. Who will play against Afghanistan will know only on the day of the match
If talking about Afghanistan's batting, then much depends on Najibullah Jadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, and Hazratullah Jajai. Captain Gulbuddin Nab also has to contribute with both bat and ball.
The two teams have the advantage that they can beat each other but the team who has been resting in the moment of pressure is more likely to win.
Team :
Afghanistan: Gulbadin Nab (Captain), Noor Ali Jadran, Asghar Stanijai, Hazratullah Jajai, Hashmatullah Jadar, Rashid Khan, Daulat Jadran, Aftab Alam, Hamid Hassan, Mujib ur Rehman, Rahmat Shah, Samihullah Shinwari, Mohammad Nabi, Mohammad Shahjahad, Ekram Ali (wicketkeeper)
West Indies: Jason Holder (Chris), Chris Gayle, Evelyn Lewis, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmayer, Ashley Nurse, Fabien Allen, Carlos Brathwaite, Nicholas Puran (wicketkeeper), ink hop, wicketkeeper, Kemar Roach, Oshena Thomas, Sheldon Cottrell, Sunil Ambris.
