The onslaught continued and the West Indies had no answers. Both Ibrahim and Rasooli brought up fifties in consecutive overs and enjoyed their fair share of luck as the innings progressed. The West Indies dropped three catches in total within the space of an over and only managed to end the 162-run stand, which included 16 fours and five sixes, off the final delivery of the innings. By then, Afghanistan had already reached 181/3, picking off 53 runs off the last five overs.
