Lucknow, November 29
Burly off-spinner Rakheem Cornwall returned a career-best 10-wicket match haul to script West Indies’ comprehensive nine-wicket win over Afghanistan inside three days in the one-off Test.
The Caribbean team skittled out Afghanistan for 120 in their second innings after the Rashid Khan-led side resumed at overnight score of 109/7. It left West Indies with a 31-run target, which they knocked off in 6.2 overs for the loss of Kraigg Brathwaite (8). John Campbell (19) and Shai Hope (6) remained unbeaten. West Indies had scored 277 in their first innings after bowling out Afghanistan for 187.
