St Lucia is one of the last venues to host the T20 World Cup matches.

But with more matches set to be played here, one cannot deny spinners coming into action soon.

Head-to-Head Record West Indies vs Afghanistan
West Indies have faced Afghanistan in seven T20Is so far and won four of them while the Asian side has been able to emerge victorious in three encounters.
West Indies
West Indies have not been convincing in their effort in the group stage but they have done enough to win their matches and qualify for the Super 8 round. But this will be a good test for them against Afghanistan ahead of the tougher Super 8 matches. But their batters will have to play responsibly unlike the way they batted against New Zealand.
Afghanistan
Afghanistan have been on a high in this T20 World Cup knocking New Zealand out of the tournament from their group. They have registered some massive wins so far and having beaten the West Indies before in the format, Rashid Khan and his men will be extremely confident of remaining unbeaten through the group stage.
