Overview
- West Indies posted 151 for 7, led by Brandon King’s 47 and Matthew Forde’s late 27, then restricted Afghanistan to 136 for 8 to win the third T20I by 15 runs.
- Shamar Springer claimed 4-20, sealing the result with a penultimate‑over hat-trick that removed Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan and Shahidullah in successive balls.
- Gurbaz anchored Afghanistan’s chase with 71 and shared a 72-run opening stand with Ibrahim Zadran, but the middle order stalled and the finish faltered.
- Afghanistan had clinched the series in the second T20I after making 189 for 4 through Darwish Rasooli’s 68 and Sediqullah Atal’s 53, with Mujeeb Ur Rahman taking 4-21 including a hat-trick in a 39-run win.
- The Mujeeb and Springer treble strikes marked the first instance of multiple hat-tricks in a men’s bilateral T20I series between Full Member nations.
