Unable to register even a single win in the ongoing World Cup so far, Afghanistan would aim to end the tournament on a high when they face West Indies in their final group stage encounter at Headingley on Thursday.
The Afghanistan team came close to defeat India and Pakistan in their last two matches. However, their inability to cash-in on the crucial junctures of the game denied them with the opportunity of causing what would have been the biggest upsets in this edition of the World Cup.
West Indies, on the other hand, have failed to produce an all-round performance, barring their opening match victory against Pakistan where they bundled out the Green Brigade for mere 105.
Despite some good individual performances, Windies have failed to put up a significant total due to the lack of partnerships. That’s why, skipper Jason Holder will look to inspire his team to play with full intensity in their final game and end what has been a disappointing tournament on a high.
