New York: A superlative batting display led by Nicholas Pooran powered West Indies to a 104-run win over Afghanistan in their final Group C match of the T20 World Cup on June 17.<\/p>\n
With both teams assured of a Super 8 berth, it was the two-time champions West Indies who displayed their batting might, amassing a formidable 218 for five, with Pooran going on a six-hitting spree during his 53-ball 98.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan\u2019s decision to bowl first backfired as Pooran hit as many as 8 maximums and 6 fours during his stay.<\/p>\n
In reply, Afghanistan succumbed to scoreboard pressure, managing just 114 in 16.2 overs.<\/p>\n
The hosts will face England in their Super 8 Group 2 match on June 20.<\/p>\n
