Brave Afghanistan eyes winning farewell against table‑topping West Indies.
A semifinal in Mumbai beckons West Indies, but first it has to get through an Afghanistan side, which is more than keen to leave the ICC World Twenty20 with a win against a top team.
In Group 1, West Indies strolled to victory against England, swatted Sri Lanka aside and held its nerve in a tight contest against South Africa to assure itself of not only a spot in the last four, but also the top spot in the group in all probability.
It might just feel that the hard yards have been done in the group phase, but if at all there was any complacency, the tough win against the South Africans on Friday would have sharpened its edge.
Afghanistan will take on West Indies at 9.30pm and India will face Australia at 1am tomorrow.
