Extremely full and on off, this is hit down to long off for one. So even 5 sixes won't do it now. Afghanistan just don't have to bowl an extra.

OUT! Caught! Another wicket for Naveen-ul-Haq. Good length ball outside off, Holder looks to clear the long on fence. He does not time it well and it goes to Mohammad Nabi there who stretches and takes a good catch. This has been a very good bowling display from young Naveen. His 3rd of the game.

Full toss on off, Pierre manages to just hit it to deep mid-wicket for one.

Brilliant ball. Slower one outside off, Keemo swings his bat at it but the ball just won't arrive. He is more than halfway done with the shot and then the ball goes behind on a couple of bounces to the keeper.

Another slower ball. This is on a length, Keemo manages to wait and then pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

WIDE! We will have one more ball in this game. Naveen misses his line and sprays it down the leg side. Wided by the umpire.

Slower one to end the game. Outside off, Pierre throws his bat at it but misses. Naveen is up in joy and so are the rest of the Afghanistan players. AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 29 RUNS AND THE SERIES 2-1! Remember, they are yet to lose a T20I series since 2018...

OUT! Straight to the man! That is probably game, set and match. The well-set Shai Hope is out of here. This is full and outside off, Hope looks to go over covers but the ball is a little too full to get under it. He ends up hitting it straight to Afghan there. It went to him quickly but he hangs on. A good innings by Shai but he was probably Windies' only hope. 39 needed in 11 balls with two new batters out there.

Full and wide outside off, Paul lets it be and it has been wided.

Slower one outside off, this is dragged down to long on for one.

Short delivery on middle, Hope pulls it through mid on. The batsmen take a single.

OUT! Pollard holes out! Is this the end of West Indies' charge? Pollard went for the big one, he had to go for this one. It is full on off, the ball keeps a bit low. The West Indies skipper looks to heave it over the mid-wicket fence. He cannot get under it and he ends up finding the man in the deep to perfection. Najibullah Zadran there makes no mistake and takes a simple catch. 45 needed off 16. Are West Indies still in it?

Good length ball outside off, Holder looks to cut but misses.

Around the pads, Holder flicks it through mid-wicket for one.

Fuller on middle, Hope milks it to long on and gets to the other end.

FOUR! Much-needed one for the Men in Maroon. Spoils an otherwise good over. Short ball on off, Holder stays on his back foot and pulls it over cow corner. The fielder from long on runs and stretches to his right but cannot stop the ball from going to the fence. Still a good over. Just 7 runs off it but more importantly the big wicket of Pollard.

Shorter in length and outside off, Hope looks to cut but there is extra bounce and turn which beats the bat.

One more dot! On off, it is defended towards cover.

Very full and outside off, this is hit down to long off for one. FIFTY UP FOR HOPE. However, his job is not yet done.

One more dot and this is a rippa. A leggie on off, it pitches and turns away. Pollard is maybe expecting a googly as he defends inside the line. Gets beaten.

FOUR LEG BYES! A welcome boundary, it is not off the bat but the visitors won't care. It is a googly this time on middle, Pollard does not pick it as he goes back to play it on the off side. It turns back in, kisses the pads and goes past the keeper to the fine leg fence.

That is a tremendous effort in the field! Rashid tosses it up outside off, Pollard drags it towards wide long on. Nabi runs to his right. The ball seems to be going for a boundary but Nabi stretches one hand out and pushes it back in. Saves two for his side. Such efforts can make the difference in the end. Just the 7 from Rashid's last. The skipper bowls a brilliant spell, his figures read 4-0-18-1.

Goes wide of the crease and angles it into the off pole, Pollard hits it down to long on and takes one.

FOUR! Bludgeoned! Hope is playing a gem here. This is a slower one on middle, Hope powers it down to the long on fence. A boundary early in the over, just what the Windies wanted.

A yorker now on middle, this is jammed back to the bowler. An excellent delivery after getting hit for a boundary.

This is brilliant stuff! Nothing you can do with those deliveries. It is a pin-point yorker on middle, Hope jams it out. Two dots after the boundary.

A slower delivery wide outside off, Hope flat-bats it down to long off for one. Singles won't harm Afghanistan.

Two taken off the final delivery! Pollard takes a few steps down the track and then flicks it wide of the fielder at deep square leg. 8 runs from the over. 53 needed in 24 balls. Not going to be easy this with Rashid and Mujeeb having one each left.

Well bowled! The leg spinner outside off, Hope comes down the track a little but realizes he won't get to the pitch of the ball. Holds his ground, tries to defend but is beaten. He though drags his feet back in.

FOUR! Good ball but Hope manages to get a boundary. Very full on the pads, it is almost a yorker. Hope manages to flick it fine down the leg side for a boundary.

Smart bowling. Naib sees Pollard coming down the track so he bangs it in short. Kieron pulls it towards mid-wicket for one.

In the air but just short! Magnificent effort from the Afghanistan skipper. Length ball on off, Hope flat-bats it to the right of cover. He does so uppishly. Rashid Khan at cover dives to his right and manages to stop the ball as it falls just short of him. He then quickly gathers himself and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Brilliant from the Afghanistan skipper, saves a certain boundary. He is leading from the front here. Naib runs all the way to Rashid and helps him stand up, shaking his hand and smiling. Now, plenty of Afghan players gather around. Everyone is smiling. Top effort and team grouping. Pollard is also smiling, though not for the effort but in response to something said by Hope.

Woah! What has happened there? Rashid pitches this one outside leg, gets it to spin away from the batter. Hetmyer heaves at it but misses the ball completely. The ball somehow misses the off pole and the keeper spills it too. The ball rolls towards short third man and the batters take a leg bye. No wait! The umpire has adjudged this as a run as he thinks that this has taken an edge off the outside half.

The batsman works it down the leg side. The batsmen have run through for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Hetmyer departs and the floodgates have opened! Rashid Khan bowls a slower one, Hetmyer looks to play this over cover but does not time it well.

Another misfield AND FOUR! Brilliant effort but to no avail! Good length and outside off, Hope opens the face of the bat and guides it towards point. The fielder there misfields. Afghan runs after it from backward point. He slides and tries to push it back in. The batters take three. It is taken upstairs though to check if it is cleanly stopped. After seeing a few replays, it does seem Afghan has done well but the umpire signals a boundary. Afghan is not happy and has a word with the umpire but the third umpire's decision has been upheld.

Fuller and around off, this is driven to the man at covers.

MISFIELD AND FOUR! That is very poor, all the pressure was building and this is exactly what the hosts did not need. Shorter and outside off, Hetmyer goes back and slaps it through covers. Janat in the deep runs to his right but lets it through his legs. A welcome boundary for the visitors.

Flatter and on off, this is pushed to covers.

Slightly shorter again and outside off, SH slaps it through covers, Janat in the deep stops it this time and just a run.

Fires this full and on off, it is hit back to the bowler.

A couple to end! A low full toss on the pads, it is flicked in the gap in the mid-wicket region. The batters go for the second. Rashid picks the ball up quickly and fires it towards the bowler who looks to deflect it onto the stumps but fails to do so. Had he done so, Hetmyer would have been a goner. 13 from the over. A few more of such overs is what the Windies need.

On the pads, this is worked through square leg for one.

On the shorter side outside off, this is pulled down to long on and a run is taken.

Hope would want to make this count now.

On the pads, Hetmyer works it with soft hands towards long on. He calls for two but has to settle for one.

Excellent delivery but it still costs two! A yorker on middle, this is jammed out through mid-wicket and a couple is taken.

That is outstanding! WOW! Rashid is down in pain but he has just saved four for his side. However, he being down on the ground is more worrying. Janat bowls this one slightly short and around middle, Lewis looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes towards the deep mid-wicket fence. Rashid there is a few yards inside the ropes, he then takes a few steps back and takes it above the head. He then realizes he is about to fall over the ropes so throws the ball back in. Gets back on his feet, picks the ball up by coming into the field and throws it back before going down onto the ground. Only two in the end for the batters.

A low full toss on off, Lewis hits it hard but only for a run down to long off.

Another very good slower one outside off, Hope looks to go over covers but it goes off the inner half down to long on for one.

OUT! LBW! Janat, the star of yesterday, gets his first. That looked out to the naked eye. Lewis is walking off shaking his head but it seemed to be out. An important breakthrough as Lewis was off to a start and looking to get a move on. Janat bowls this one slightly shorter and on off, it comes in with the angle and also skids through.

NO BALL! Where did that come from? It surely must have slipped out of the bowler's hand. Janat bowls a beamer, Lewis does well to duck under it. The bowler straightaway apologizes. However, Lewis has a Free Hit coming up now.

FOUR! Evin Lewis makes good use of the Free Hit. He smashes it down the ground. Janat bowls it fuller and on middle, this is powered down to the long on fence. A welcome boundary for the visitors.

Shorter and outside off, Lewis guides it towards point for one. Good batting.

Another length ball outside off, King guides it to the man at cover-point.

OUT! KABOOM! Is that an action replay of the way King was cleaned up in the second T20I? Well, it does seem so. Another off cutter gets the better of King. It is fuller and on off, King is way too early in the shot, as he looks to work it on the leg side. He misses and the ball hits the stumps. Also, replays seem to indicate slightly low bounce, as was seen in the last game too. West Indies in big, big trouble now.

Good length and on off, Hope strokes it to the man at covers.

OUT! TIMBER! Mujeeb, like he has done many a times for Afghanistan, draws first blood for his side. That is not the right shot to play against him. We saw King playing something similar and get cleaned up in the first game and now Simmons. This is slightly shorter and it drifts in from outside off. LS goes back and looks to cut it but misses and the stumps are shattered. Not a good return into the team for the opener and Afghanistan strike early.

FOUR! Too short and put away! It is outside off, Simmons waits for it since it is the slower one and then slaps it through cover-point. First boundary of the chase.

AAAH! Lewis is down in pain. Never saw that coming. Naveen bowls a slower one on the stumps and Simmons works it towards mid-wicket and takes off. Now, it looks like a simple single. But then, the throw from the fielder at the striker's end hits Lewis instead. His bat is down and so is he, in agony.

FOUR! That will ease off the pain a bit! Off the mark in style is Lewis. Short and wide outside off, Lewis slaps it through point and the ball races to the fence. Naveen has not started well here. He has already conceded two boundaries.

Another short one and on middle, Lewis pulls it through square leg and takes one.

A single to end an expensive first by Naveen! A dipping slower full toss on off, Simmons hits it towards mid on and a run is taken.
