Mohammad Shahzad starred as Afghanistan laid down a marker ahead of next year's World Cup by romping to a seven-wicket thrashing of the West Indies in the qualifying final yesterday.
Afghanistan's Rashid Khan became the fastest bowler ever to reach 100 ODI wickets as the Windies were bowled out for 204, before opener Shahzad smashed 84 as Afghanistan knocked off the runs with 9.2 overs to spare. Both the teams had already qualified for the 2019 World Cup.
