Match Preview Afghanistan vs West Indies, 1st T20I 2019

Big picture

Afghanistan is sick. The ODI campaign is getting so bad that it's getting extended to 12 by the end of the series, while hosting a host from the adopted house in India to the West Indies. There is inconsistency in the philosophy of batter (defense) and bowling (attack) units, and the Gulf has deepened since several young Batman recently joined the squad.

But T20I is the best form of Afghanistan Afghanistan opposed the mystery spinner's stockpile and deep-hit blower (although not always large). Be particularly careful on the subcontinent.

But there is one problem: it seems that you have forgotten the winning technique.

Last month, they shared a three-nation T20I series trophy in Bangladesh for the final. Prior to the title clash, they lost two consecutive victories in Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

The defeat of T20I was rare in Afghanistan, with much more back-to-back losses, but the only team that insisted that the fate of the bilateral series since 2017 is the West Indies.

The West Indies, which defeated Afghanistan 3-0 in 2017, are significantly different from the teams currently traveling to India, but there are some similarities. The team was rejuvenated by a new captain, Kieron Pollard, who had the opportunity to blind them because a new cricketer had flown in since the Caribbean Premier League season recently, barely seeing Afghanistan. .

What used to be Afghanistan's former advantage is now far from them, and if visitors can ignore the spin threats that Afghanistan has, there is no reason why the West Indies can't beat Afghanistan in the T20I series.

In the spotlight

Mujiv Ur Rahman Afghanistan has long been a junior in the spinner trio. However, as the team became increasingly focused on not offering Rashid Khan turnstiles, they were eventually exposed to Mujeeb's path. The teenager was Afghanistan's best turnstile in the ODI for the West Indies, and was the most successful spinner in the Shpageeza Premier League earlier this year. In 2019, Mujeeb has lost its ticket gates only once, and after 15.66 runs, he receives a ticket gate. He did not admit to running more than 30 times in this year's T20, and the new bowling player Mujeeb Ton sets for the West Indian opening unit. Medium score and big score.

Open typing Brandon King It helped me make my debut with the 3rd ODI Championship at West Indie, and it's no surprise that I joined the T20I team after the fantastic CPL 2019. In the ninth round of the CPL draft, King is an opener that breaks the gate that prevents Guyana Amazon warriors from wearing the maroon clothes of the West Indies, with an average of 496.11 points, an average of 55.11 points and 149.94 strike rates in 12 innings. The right hand hitter, who prefers straight rather than right-angle, has huge potential for influencing the first T20I series. He is a traditional groundbreaker for most White Ball batters in the West Indies these days, and if he can quickly enter his territory against Afghanistan, King has shown that the longer he stays in the middle, the more dangerous he is. .

Pitch and condition

Due to a bug invasion of the third ODI, players can't rule out other attacks if they wear a mask and rerun the game under Lucknow's Floodlight. North India is now expected to play a big role as dew begins as winter begins and evening proceeds. If two teams are expected to put multiple spin bowlers on the field, it may work. Lucknow's night sky is expected to be cloudy, and some reports indicate that air quality can be dangerous.

Statistics and common sense

• West Indies became the first team to play two T20Is at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow in November 2018, playing in their first fight against India.

• Afghanistan's spin bowler scored 7.87 in 2019, but on average allowed more than six turnstiles per flight.

• 12 months ago Hayden Walsh Jr played in the United States.
