AFG vs WI Betting Tips
Highest individual score – Over 64.5
The Dubai surface rewards patience, and batters who settle early can go on to post big scores. In the opening match, two players crossed the 64-run mark, highlighting the potential for a substantial individual innings. With Afghanistan’s top order in good touch, we expect at least one batter to breach this line again.
Ibrahim Zadran to score over 21.5 runs
Ibrahim Zadran comes into this match in outstanding form, having scored four consecutive half-centuries across formats. He also enjoys batting at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where conditions suit batters who spend time at the crease. Given his recent consistency and confidence, backing Zadran to cross the 21.5-run mark looks like a strong value bet.

AFG vs WI Team Previews
Afghanistan
Afghanistan delivered a dominant all-round performance in the first T20I, defeating West Indies comfortably and asserting control early in the series. They are expected to field an unchanged XI for this contest.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran will once again open the innings. Both bring experience and composure at the top, with Zadran producing a superb knock of 87 off 56 balls in the previous match. The middle order is well covered with Sediqullah Atal and Darwish Rasooli, while the presence of all-rounders Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib adds significant depth.
Afghanistan’s bowling unit remains one of their biggest strengths. Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Noor Ahmad shared six wickets between them in the opening game and continue to control the middle overs. With the new ball, Ziaur Rahman Sharifi and Azmatullah Omarzai provide discipline and early breakthroughs.
Afghanistan Expected Playing 11
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan (C), Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Ziaur Rahman Sharifi

West Indies
West Indies would have hoped for a stronger start to the series, especially with the T20 World Cup approaching. However, they were outplayed in most departments in the opening match and now face a must-win situation to stay alive in the series.
Much depends on the opening pair of Brandon King and Evin Lewis. Both are proven match-winners but have struggled for consistency in recent outings. With the middle order failing to provide stability, early runs from the openers are crucial.
The middle order features experienced names like Shimron Hetmyer and Johnson Charles, but the overall batting depth appears thin compared to Afghanistan. The bowling unit also needs improvement after a disappointing first outing, where frontline seamers Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph, and Matthew Forde conceded over seven runs per over.
While the spinners showed some control, they must strike regularly to apply pressure.
West Indies Expected Playing 11
Brandon King (C), Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Amir Jangoo, Quentin Samson, Matthew Forde, Khary Pierre, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales, Gudakesh Motie
AFG vs WI Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss is likely to bat first, as setting a total has generally proven advantageous under these conditions.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The Dubai pitch is expected to offer a balanced contest. There is some pace and bounce early on, allowing batters to score once they settle. Teams batting first will aim for a total in the 170–180 range. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, bringing spinners into play.
Weather conditions will be clear, with temperatures hovering around 20°C.
AFG vs WI: Who Will Win?
Afghanistan look well placed to secure another win. Their batting lineup is in better form, and their spin-heavy bowling attack is ideally suited to these conditions. West Indies, on the other hand, need a much-improved collective performance to challenge a confident Afghanistan side.
Bet on Afghanistan to win.
