Preview

The two unbeaten teams from Group C will square off in Match 40 of the T20 World Cup 2024 in a high-stakes match. Afghanistan and the West Indies (WI vs AFG), who have won three games in a row, have guaranteed themselves a spot in the Super Eights and will now try to top the table.

Afghanistan is now in first place following impressive wins that enabled them to register the greatest net run rate (+4.230) in the league stage. After defeating Oman by 125 runs to start the tournament, they defeated New Zealand by 84 runs and Papua New Guinea (PNG) by seven wickets.

However, the West Indies, who were also co-hosts, began the match by defeating PNG by five wickets. They subsequently defeated Uganda by a massive 134 runs and defeated New Zealand by 13 runs. It is really tough to choose a preference between the two sides given their respective performances thus far. However, the Asian team is more likely to prevail if the pitch has a fair degree of turn.
