West Indies ended their three-match T20 series against Afghanistan with a consolation victory in Dubai on January 23, 2026. After losing the first two matches and conceding the series, the Caribbean side won the final game by 15 runs, powered by Shamar Springer’s hat-trick. Batting first, West Indies posted 151 for 7 in 20 overs, led by captain Brandon King’s 47 runs and late contributions from Matthew Forde and Springer. Afghanistan replied with 136 for 8, falling short despite Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 71-run innings.
Afghanistan had been well placed at 72 for no loss after 10 overs, but Springer’s decisive spell turned the match. He dismissed Gurbaz, Rashid, and Shahidullah in consecutive deliveries to complete his hat-trick, becoming the third West Indian bowler to achieve the feat in T20 internationals. Springer finished with figures of 4 for 20 and was named Player of the Match, while Afghanistan’s Darwish Rasooli was named Player of the Series as his team claimed the series 2–1.
The result gave West Indies a morale-boosting finish to the series despite their earlier defeats.
