![Pooran's explosive 98 take WI to 104-run win over Afghanistan](https://cdn.magzter.com/1560517598/1718747890/articles/KX4NJEgrN1718754575940/POORANS-EXPLOSIVE-98-TAKE-WI-TO-104RUN-WIN-OVER-AFGHANISTAN.jpg)
With both teams assured of a Super 8 berth, it was the two-time champions who displayed their batting might, amassing a formidable 218 for five, with Pooran going on a six-hitting spree during his 53-ball 98. It was the highest total for the West Indies in T20 World Cups.
In reply, Afghanistan succumbed to scoreboard pressure, managing just 114 in 16.2 overs.
“We knew here will be one of the better wickets of the competition. After Guyana and Trinidad, the batters wanted to come here and get runs. (Pooran) I think it is on the back of hard work. He has had a very good 12 months. Good to see him score runs not only in franchise cricket but also for WI,” West Indies skipper Rovman Powell said at the post match presentation ceremony.
Afghanistan had bundled out their opponents for sub-100 totals in their first three games but skipper Rashid Khan’s decision to bowl first here backfired as Pooran put on a ruthless display, hitting as many as 8 maximums and 6 fours during his stay.
