Lucknow: Afghanistan recorded their first T20I series win over a major team when they got the better of West Indies by 29 runs in the third and final match on Sunday.

It was a major boost to the Afghan team after they had lost the ODI series 3-0 and after they had lost the opening T20 game, there was despondency in their camp. But they raised their game several notches to stun the current T20 champions 2-1 at the Ekana Stadium here.
