high, high, taken. Full delivery on off, Janat gets underneath that and sends it a mile into the air. Not good timing, not much distance. The ball lobs in the air for Brathwaite to get across from mid-off, a reverse-cupped catch gives West Indies the T20 series

Full commentary
11.52pm Another terrific bowling display from West Indies means they take an unassailable lead in the T20 series. Badree started well with a one-run first over, and Afghanistan stayed behind the game thereon. Some of their shots were questionable, their decision-making substandard and their execution flawed. But that's the step-up in quality they're faced with. They'll keep improving. For now though, all they can do is move to game 3 and look for consolation.
Presentation time.
Asghar Stanikzai: "The target wasn't big. This is a good experience for us, West Indies are world champions. They played very well, and won the series."
Carlos Brathwaite: "Feels good to get a series win, no matter who the opposition. Conditions were tough, batting 11 overs thinking you're going to bat 20. Executed our plans to perfection. We were always ready, no matter how much rain falls, always a chance at Warner park. Switched off just enough to relax. Ticked all boxes. That's a display of professionalism."
Kesrick Williams is the Man of the Match: "When you put in a lot of hard work, it'd good to see doing well for the team. the team bowled well, about putting balls in the areas. All you need to do is train hard, work hard. T20 is not a bowler's game, trust your game."

goes through everyone. Flat on leg, the offbreak. Dawlat thinks it's the carrom ball and plays that line. The ball goes past Dawlat and the keeper. Four byes

Narine to Zadran, SIX runs
beautiful. Full and straight. Instead of swinging across the line, Dawlat offers the full face and then angles his bat so that the ball goes up. His muscle ensured it stayed that way for enough time. Lovely six over long-off
