T20 World Cup In the 40th match of 2024, the West Indies batsmen created a lot of ruckus and scored 218 runs in the stipulated 20 overs against Afghanistan. In this match, the hero with the bat for West Indies was wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran, who could not complete his century but broke many records with his innings of 98 runs in 53 balls.

During his innings, Pooran hit 6 fours and 8 lofty sixes. Not only this, he took Afghanistan bowler Azmatullah Omarzai on remand and looted 36 runs in his one over. T20 World Cup The record has been equalled. Now the West Indies team has also equalled India's record of scoring 36 runs in one over in the T20 World Cup.

These 36 runs were scored in the fourth over of the West Indies innings bowled by Azmatullah Omarzai. This is the fifth time in T20 Internationals that 36 runs have been scored in an over, while this is only the second time in a T20 World Cup after Yuvraj Singh's blast in the inaugural edition against England in Durban. In this over, Omarzai also gave a no ball and 5 wides and 4 leg byes, due to which the West Indies team was successful in scoring 36 runs in this over. 3 sixes and 2 fours were seen in this over from Puran's bat.

West Indies has set a target of 219 runs for Afghanistan to win. It will be interesting to see whether Afghanistan's team is able to achieve this target or not. However, the result of this match will not affect both the teams because both these teams have already reached the Super-8, but this match will definitely be a reality check for Afghanistan before the Super-8 because they are going to face strong teams in the Super-8, so they will have to take their game to one more level.
