AFG vs WI 2nd T20I LIVE SCORE: In the pulsating second T20I of their three-match series at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Rashid Khan’s Afghanistan seek to extend their 1-0 lead over a determined West Indies side captained by Brandon King. With the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 looming just weeks away, both teams are fine-tuning strategies in UAE conditions that mirror the upcoming tournament venues in India and Sri Lanka.
The first T20I saw Afghanistan post a strong 181/3, powered by unbeaten knocks from Ibrahim Zadran (87) and Darwish Rasooli (84), followed by a disciplined bowling effort that restricted West Indies to 143/9. Spin masters like Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan proved decisive in the UAE conditions. West Indies will need a big turnaround from their batsmen and bowlers to level the series.
