The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match between West Indies and Afghanistan has begun at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia. Afghanistan is currently leading 1-0 in the tournament, with West Indies yet to make a change to their lineup. However, due to Romario Shepherd being absent for the birth of his second child, West Indies has made a couple of changes to their playing XI.
Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy comes into the side in place of Shepherd, and Shai Hope replaces Roston Chase in the lineup. Both teams are currently undefeated in the tournament.
The playing XIs for both teams are as follows:
West Indies XI: Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Rovman Powell (c), Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Obed McCoy
Afghanistan XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Najibullah Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib
