OUT! CAUGHT! Afghanistan lose another wicket and Naib is the man to go now. Floated delivery outside off, Naib looks to slog sweep this towards mid-wicket for a biggie. Naib gets a top edge on this one which goes towards long off where Sheldon Cottrell takes the catch. A matter of time before Afghanistan lose now.

K Williams to Naveen
Naveen goes for the reverse sweep again. This time Williams cleverly bowls it down the leg side. Naveen wants it to be called a wide but the umpire says that it is a legal delivery. Now, the batsman is not happy at all. He looks at the square leg umpire and then at the main one. Walks down the track and is fuming in anger, wanting that to be called a wide or a no ball for height. It was definitely not a no ball while as far as the wide quotient is concerned, it could not be called as the batsman was trying to play it on the opposite side.

K Williams to Naveen
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! West Indies 1 wicket away from victory now. Short ball wide outside off, Naveen comes down the track and looks to pull. But the bounce gets big on him and he gets a faint edge on it. Ramdin behind takes an easy catch.
