Easy win to pick up for WI. 57 needed from 16 overs. There was a good chance to bet for WI when Afghanistan had this 100 runs partnership in the innings.
West Indies wants this match to be an interesting one according to you and Afghanistan has good spinners to bring that in Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan to trouble the batsman and looking at the pitch it is slowing down and gripping and spinners might get good purchase
This is an easy chase for West Indies and they will be smart enough to avoid playing any risky shots against their prime bowlers and it is not a huge total to put much pressure on the batsman and if they did not make any foolish decisions to finish the match fast then they will chase the score easily as they need 84 runs with 8 wickets in hand and they just need 3.67 runs per over. ^ Windies team wants to spice things up today and don't want to win one-sided game 
, they already lost the 1st wicket let's see what happens. i don't mind mini or complete collapse though 
.
Edit : 2nd wicket down
West Indies wants this match to be an interesting one according to you and Afghanistan has good spinners to bring that in Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan to trouble the batsman and looking at the pitch it is slowing down and gripping and spinners might get good purchase from it and considering Rashid Khan as a world class spinner the West Indies players will struggle but the total is not that huge but yet the match will drag to the 45th over. , they already lost the 1st wicket let's see what happens. i don't mind mini or complete collapse though .

By the way, I have sent you a PM. Please check.
Checked Doubt that if Afghanistan can save match after scoring under 230 runs unless Windies treat 50 over format as T-20, However Windies team looking strong on paper and just to give an example Jason Holder bats at number 8.
I was almost tempted to bet for Afghanistan LOLThank god that I did not :-D

It seems like easy win for West Indies. 195 is not a big target and WI batting lineup seems to be good today. Especially the top order and also if anything goes wrong they have experienced hitter- Pollard in the middle.

I am not watching the match but just checked the score and it seem WI was able to slow down the Afghanistan cruse LOL. 6 wickets gone and only Afghan seems to be a set batsmen. By the way, Naib can be a good thread of he has not taken early.
I think Afghanistan will not be able to finish their 50 overs allocation. You targeted prediction seems realistic.

Now WI has things to worry. This partnership almost nearly going to have 100 runs. When I was making my last post the run rate was 3ish and now it's 4.66. Most importantly as long as these two will continue the run rate will start getting sky high.
I am really confuse now who to pick if I were to bet in this match.
Rahmat Shah lost his wicket finally and Jason Holder and Chase is bowling really well and if Afghanistan is able to score above 230 runs then Afghanistan have the spinners to restrict the West Indies players, the pitch will aide the spinners as per the reports and it all depends upon how the West Indies players are facing Rashid Khan and he is the trump card in this match for Afghanistan to win. I am really confuse now who to pick if I were to bet in this match.

After early two-wicket lose I thought that the game is going to one side But things are getting changed now, Afghanistan really getting good partnership now. Rahmat and Ikram both are playing well I hope they will going to cross 100 runs partnership soon.
Score 103/2 in 22 overs.

Today we have West Indies and Afghanistan playing their first match and Kieron Pollard is the West Indies captain and Lance Klusener is the coach for Afghanistan and in the tour match Afghanistan defeated West Indies even without the presence of Rashid Khan and i am wagging for Afghanistan in this match as i am expecting the spinners to cause trouble to the West Indies players.
Well Afghanistan is not doing well right now. However things were worse earlier though. They were really struggling when they lost 2 wickets for only 15 runs and not so far 55 for 2.Rahmat and Ikram made a partnership so far which can give some hope to Afghanistan fans.

Players get more money because there is more interest in these matches and more revenue to be made from broadcasting and sponsorship deals. Also, various franchises are being managed by private corporations or individuals, and not by the cricket boards. This reduces the issue of political interference and bureaucracy by a big amount.
The main revenue is always broadcasting rights as there are more sports channels now and they will be competing with each other to get the telecasting rights and that gives them revenues that they never anticipated ten years back as billions of dollars are made for the broadcasting rights and these are private leagues funded by corporate or billionaires and the cricket board will overlook these tournaments as it will help develop young talents. 
There was a tour match yesterday West Indies playing against Afghanistan and they defeated West Indies by four wickets and they were playing without their star player in Rashid Khan and i am confused how that series will be and what sort of betting odds we will be getting but West Indies came to this series without their main players and it is possible that Afghanistan could defeat them in the ODI which is starting on 6th.
3 ODIs, 3 T20Is and one test match is scheduled in this series. This is a "home" series for Afghanistan, but they will play their matches in India due to the bad security situation back home. All the seven matches will take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Formerly, Afghanistan had Dehra Dun as their home ground, but now they seems to have shifted to Lucknow.
Why these T20 leagues and now T10 league are becoming popular ? It is because it attracts a lot of people, TV viewership and a lot of money is involved in all this. Players also get more money and even those players who are retired from international cricket, their value increases in such leagues and they charge more money as people like to see the old legends play on the ground.

People like to see the results in a short period of time and so is the reason people like the shorter format very much and there is no drag in the matches and there is more advertisement revenue in these shorter formats but i still think that ODI gets much more revenue from media as it has more television air time. The players who perform irrespective of age will get selected in the shorted format and it is good for many players to make money even after international career.People love games with shorter format more. Take basketball and football for example. People enjoy watching them because they don't have to sit for a long time watching that game and furthermore they don't have to waste their time getting some entertainment.
I totally get it why they are promoting shorter formats of the game more and the popularity of such formats amongst the viewers. In coming years, I won't be surprised if we have l
more 10 overs a side leagues.

Cricketing calendar is always busy specially if you include the leagues matches like IPL or big bash etc. We have almost full year of cricket and there is hardly a big gap where we see no cricket being played.
A lot of the T20 leagues have sprung up all over the world and this is what made the cricketing calendar very congested. Almost every test playing nation (perhaps with the exception of Ireland and Sri Lanka) have started their own T20 leagues and even nations such as Nepal, Canada and Hong Kong have leagues ongoing in their territory. And don't forget about the T10 league (Abu Dhabi T10), which is about to start in less than two weeks from now.
