The change in format did nothing to mitigate what's been a horrendous start at their new home base in Lucknow, and now Afghanistan are looking at a must-win game to keep the T20I series alive after their 0-3 ODI whitewash. To do that, they'll need a good, hard look at their batting which has come under serious scrutiny, exacerbated by the failure of their spinners to win them matches on their own.
Certainly, that's been the case on this tour as the West Indies have negotiated Rashid Khan and co. with a degree of authority. Rashid, in fact, went for 34 off his four overs on a pitch that should've suited him. Even going back to the ODI series, Rashid failed to inspire with a disappointing two wickets from three matches. His lack of wicket-taking form might well be at the forefront of Afghanistan's problems.
Compare that to Kieron Pollard, under whose leadership West Indies won their first ODI series in five years, before breaking their T20I duck in 2019. And while Pollard hasn't really set the stage on fire with his own performances, he played a useful hand in the previous match with both bat and ball.
But, by rule of thumb, the gulf between the teams in this format isn't as great as in 50 overs. So it won't be prudent to write off Afghanistan completely, especially considering their 12-match winning streak that was broken only a couple of months back. They'll need their talismanic captain, and their batsmen, to step up though.
What: Afghanistan vs West Indies, 2nd T20I, November 16, 1900 IST
Where: Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
What to expect: Hopefully not a delayed start due to excessive insect repellent, which did the trick by the way in the first T20I, so it's an acceptable tradeoff. Nevertheless, expect the pitch to play similarly - so it won't get any easier for Afghanistan's batsmen to turn things around.
Afghanistan: Afghanistan don't necessarily need too many changes, although they might look at replacing the struggling Hazratullah Zazai at the top.
West Indies: Fabian Allen's knee injury, which had him limping off the field, may jeopardize his participation. It could open the door for Khary Pierre, or even Lendl Simmons. Hetmyer's form remains a concern, but the thing in his favour is that the team's doing well, so there's an extra buffer for failure.
Teams:
Afghanistan Squad: Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran, Asghar Afghan, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan(c), Fareed Malik, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Yamin Ahmadzai, Karim Janat, Javed Ahmadi, Sayed Shirzad
West Indies Squad: Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Denesh Ramdin(w), Kieron Pollard(c), Sherfane Rutherford, Fabian Allen, Jason Holder, Hayden Walsh, Kesrick Williams, Sheldon Cottrell, Keemo Paul, Alzarri Joseph, Lendl Simmons, Khary Pierre
