Afghanistan have shocked the West Indies by beating them in the last Group 1 match of the World Twenty20 in Nagpur. The underdogs, who were playing for pride after going into the match with no way of qualifying for this week’s semi-finals, won by six runs over the 2012 champions in a thrilling encounter. The West Indies could only manage 117-8, in reply to Afghanistan's score of 123-7. Despite the loss, the West Indies top the group and will play their semi-final match against the winner of tonight’s clash between Australia and India.
