I missed the entire match, i was not expecting an upset from Afghanistan because of their dismal performance throughout the tournament but Asghar Afghan and Nabi played a wonderful knock to take the team to a respectable total but Hope played a patient innings and scored a century to take the team to victory even though they lost two quick wickets at the start of the innings.
I could not watch the match but always kept an eye on the scoreboard since I had a good amount placed for WI. Afghanistan were really doing well but it was Hope who basically kept his mind cool and won the match with his not out 109 runs.

Pooran, Pollard, King and Chase supported him very well till the end.

Hope ensured that the WI hope do not die if he had got out early Afghan would have got the match in their side and even would have won it . WI is a good side if all the players play as a team could beat the good teams too .

I thought that Afghanistan going win the match against west indies today because West Indies are loss the 2 wickets for 4 runs within 3overs but after that Shai hope take the match from Afghanistan I hope that he will be going to get is 7 ODI century today.
Well they now got Pollard too. Still this match is alive and anyone can win from here. Both my bets in this match and in the tennis match are doing worse LOL.

In the tennis match Medvedev lost his first set :-( Hope he comes back in the send set and win from there.

Usually, I don't prefer to bet any of the match of- Pakistan, WI because their performance is very much volatile, in fact, more volatile than Bitcoin price. It's very risky to bet on. WI can win a match which is impossible, while Pakistan can loss a match which is so easy to win.
Well I was bored so if I lose the I will pay the price of stupidity. It's not okay to gamble when you are not in good mood. It's not just this, I have another bet on Tennis too :-P
Both was done at the same time. Then I went out to have a break and came back and saw WI lost 2 wickets for 4 runs or something :-D

Now another one gone. 68/3 :-)

I didn't had much hope from Afghan batting when they were struggling at 118/5 but it seems to me they made a good comeback, thanks to Nabi who stood strong and gave good support to Asghar Afghan.
I was checking the scores for a while but after 5 wickets, I didn't check even. Had placed a bet for WI to win but seems like they are gonna mess up and lose the match. It's 41/2 after 15 overs, RR is almost 6 now. Well, if Afghan can get some more quick wickets, they can get the match in their hand. WI is far away from win here.

And just before that I placed a bet for WI at an odd of 1.35 or something LOL.

I was bored and nothing much to do so I thought to get some excitements. The target is 250 which is not something that can not be achieved. I hope WI will make it and keep the winning continued.

At least they are close to very respectable score and if there their spinners can make some sort of impact in this game despite Dew, then who knows...

Before that two-wicket, I thought  Afghanistan going chase target safely because they have still 5 wickets in hand but Afghanistan lost two important wickets in two balls that are the game-changing deliveries from west indies, then I come back in the game because I already placed a bet on the west indies with decent odds.

I have seen Afghanistan losing a lot many of the close matches, and even matches where they had an advantage. In this match, they had a good 6th wicket partnership going, with Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi taking them very close to the target. But after Najibullah Zadran got out to Cottrell, they collapsed like a peck of cards.

Although they have some very good world class spinners (Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Zahir Khan), in every other department they are quite average. They don't have a single world class batsmen, nor do they have any good pace bowlers. And the spinners may be able to give them some victories in the T20 matches, but for the other formats you need support from the batsmen and the pacers.

This partnership was treating West Indies. Good thing that finally Cottrell got Zadran and now Nabi gone too :-P
I have some amounts for WI and now I feel a bit relaxed although I got some shit odds :-D
Looks like there was good odds for West Indies to win the match and you waited too long to wage a bet  Cheesy.. Afghanistan is struggling in ODI as they are not having a good consistent batsman, they won a Test match against Bangladesh because one player performed well and the bowlers were good enough to pick the wickets but in both these ODI matches i did not see have any player who could bat longer and in this match there was one good partnership and when West Indies was able to pick that wicket then the match is over.

Afghanistan lost their 9th wicket and when they had a good partnership going for the 6th wicket i thought they had a chance to win the game but then West Indies was too good for them and unless they sort the batting issue they cannot win games against any teams in the top ten but they are good in T20 and they have the team to upset any team with the bowling line up they have.

They're done here. Rashid Khan was the last hope and he's gone too. Now they need 64 more, with just 2 wickets remaining. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Sharafuddin Ashraf batting right now and I don't think that they can do much. And Naveen-ul-Haq is not very renowned for his batting skills either. Afghanistan had a chance, but they wasted it when they conceded so many runs in the final overs when West Indies was batting. A few good individual performances won't get them anywhere. They needs to start winning matches.

The Afghanistan players are still trying hard to win the match and the last five overs they increased their tempo by scoring runs at over six runs an over and Najibullah Zadran scored a half century and Mohammad Nabi scoring at a good pace and i wonder why they are not getting promotion and bat up the order and if they are able to play like this in the next five overs without loosing a wicket then it is a total they can chase.

Looks like Afghanistan is inching towards another very heavy loss. They have lost 3 wickets already and the score is only 65/3. Once again, the top order has failed for Afghanistan. Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmat Shah both got good starts, but they need to convert these 20s and 30s to half-centuries. Javed Ahmadi had yet another failure today. 
I always wonder what would have being their situation when Mohammad Shahzad was their opener, he usually gave them a good start and he always had a hard time with the cricket board and so is the reason he is not in the team, if they need to win matches and all of their major past victories Mohammad Shahzad was their main player in batting and they have good spinners who could bat a bit and all of their victories came because of the start they got and now they are struggling to find a good opening combination and now it is difficult to chase this score with the way West Indies is bowling and a wicket from here will expose the tail end and they could bat but highly unlikely they can chase this score as they still need 143 runs to win.

It's not like the issues between the ACB and Mohammad Shahzad propped up all of a sudden. The relation was cold for the last 2-3 years and it reached a breaking point when Shahzad was omitted from the world cup squad. After that he threatened to retire, but the selectors refused to give in to his demands. This is what happened back then:
