Who will win today T20 WC Warm-UP match between Afghanistan vs West Indies?
Aaj ka WI vs AFG match kon jeetega: Afghanistan has a slightly higher chance of winning their T20 World Cup warm-up match against West Indies today at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru.
Afghanistan is in good form, including a 61-run victory over Scotland in their previous warm-up match and a 2-1 T20I series win against West Indies in Dubai last month. West Indies struggled in that series, losing crucial chases despite efforts from Brandon King and Shimron Hetmyer.
Recent predictions favor Afghanistan, citing their strong spin attack led by Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, as well as half-centuries scored by Darwish Rasooli and Siddiqullah Atal. Although West Indies holds a 5-3 head-to-head record, Afghanistan has won three of the last five T20Is played between the two teams.
