West Indies batsmen struggled against 39 overs of spin employed by Afghanistan, posting 197-8 in their first Super Six game of the ICC World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe.
The Afghan spinners kept things tight against the Windies batsmen, with only Shai Hope getting past 40 with 43 from 94 balls. Such was the dominance of the Afghan bowlers that West Indies managed just 10 fours and two sixes in the 50 overs.
Marlon Samuels made 36, Jason Holder 28 and Evin Lewis 27. Debutant Keemo Paul struck a six in his unbeaten 16.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman took 3-33 and Mohammad Nabi 2-43 for Afghanistan, who were 62-2 after 15 overs with Paul and Holder being the wicket-takers.
