WI vs AFG Probable Winners:

West Indies has a better home record than Afghanistan. WI has won three out of three T20Is against Afghanistan on home turf. Both teams are in good form with the ball, which has allowed them to defeat other teams, but Afghanistan’s batting lineup falls short when compared to West Indies batters. With early damage to AFG’s top-order, the West Indies can keep them to a low total and win the game. Considering the team combination, West Indies are expected to win this match.
