Mohammad Nabi
Afghanistan have won hearts around the world with their performances in this tournament. In every game they played, they gave a feeling that they would win—only to fall short due to a lack of experience.
However, against West Indies, they finally got over the line. Posting a meagre score of 123, the game looked over as West Indies’ batting line-up was expected to coast to the total. However, some exceptional bowling as a team from the Afghans hindered West Indies as they could only muster a poor 117.
All the bowlers might have done exceedingly well, but Mohammad Nabi stands above them all. In the second week of the tournament, the Afghan all-rounder picked up four wickets and gave away just 43 runs in 8 overs. His tight bowling against West Indies was what set the ball rolling for their historic win.
