The West Indies cruised past Afghanistan in their final group stage match of the 2024 T20 World Cup, held at the Darren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet on Tuesday. This emphatic victory secured them the top spot in Group C, guaranteeing their progression to the Super Eights stage of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s loss, although disappointing, still saw them finish in second place with a total of six points from their four matches. This secured their own spot in the Super Eights, narrowly edging out New Zealand for the coveted second spot.
New Zealand’s third-place finish, however, meant they missed out on advancing to the Super Eights. Uganda, in their debut T20 World Cup campaign, finished fourth, while Papua New Guinea unfortunately ended the tournament winless.
This match was a significant clash, determining the final standings within Group C and the teams who would move on to the next stage of the tournament. The West Indies’ commanding performance showcased their strength and solidified their position as a force to be reckoned with in the tournament.
