Afghanistan and the West Indies will lock horns in the first T20I of their three-match series on Monday, January 19, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The match will begin at 8:00 PM IST and promises to be an exciting contest as both teams look to build momentum ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026.

Afghanistan come into the series with a strong and balanced T20I squad. Despite missing frontline pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, they still possess plenty of depth in both batting and bowling.

Afghanistan’s batting will heavily rely on their top order, with Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Sediqullah Atal expected to provide quick and stable starts. Their bowling attack remains their biggest strength, led by star spinner Rashid Khan.

West Indies, on the other hand, are looking for a fresh start after a disappointing T20I campaign in 2025, in which they won only 7 of 22 matches.

All three matches being played in Dubai will help both teams adapt to subcontinent-like conditions, making this series a valuable preparation step on the road to the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

In this article, let's take a look at the head-to-head record for AFG vs WI 1st T20I.

West Indies squad: Brandon King (C), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Johnson Charles, Matthew Forde, Justin Greaves, Shimron Hetmyer, Amir Jangoo, Shamar Joseph, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Quentin Sampson, Jayden Seales, Ramon Simmonds, Shamar Springer.

Afghanistan squad: Rashid Khan (C), Ibrahim Zadran (vc), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mohammad Ishaq, Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli, Shahidullah Kamal, Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Abdullah Ahmadzai.
