AFGH vs WI Dream11 42nd Match Prediction | Afghanistan vs Windies ICC World Cup 2019

Two teams who are already out of the World Cup will battle it out in match no 42 of ICC World Cup 2019. The teams we are talking about are Afghanistan and Windies who will lock horns in Headingley, Leeds.

Afghanistan has had a nightmare of a season as they are yet to register a single win in this World Cup. Windies, on the other hand, have been braced with only one win so far which came against Pakistan in their World Cup opener.

With this being the last match of both teams in this World Cup, a winning exit is what the two teams will be looking for.

Best Performance in the World Cup:

Windies: Champions in 1975, 1979 editions.

Afghanistan: One win in 2015 edition.
