Afghanistan vs West Indies, 1st T20I, Afghanistan v West Indies in UAE, 2026 - Player Highlights

Mujeeb to Charles, out Lbw!! Charles has been trapped in front but after some deliberation with his partner, he challenges the decision. Looks adjacent to the naked eye. Was quicker through the air and full around off, Charles switched his stance and went for the switch hit but got beaten to get struck on the back leg. UltraEdge rolls in and shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have crashed into the leg-stump. Charles had started to look threatening but he has to make the long back walk now. Important wicket for Afghanistan in the context of the game. Charles lbw b Mujeeb 27(16) [4s-3 6s-2]
