ICC World Cup 2019: Match 42, Afghanistan vs West Indies – West Indies’ Predicted Playing XI

West Indies, who have had a very limited positive outing in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 will look to finish their campaign with a win when they go up against Afghanistan on July 4 (Thursday) at the Headingley in Leeds.

The team from the Caribbean Islands have failed to produce all-round efforts barring the game against Pakistan – their only win in this World Cup. West Indies batters have largely failed to rally behind their bowlers who have done an outstanding job so far in the tournament. Veteran batsman Chris Gayle is due to play a big knock in England and will hope to play a massive innings and help his side finish with a victory.

Jason Holder will have to come out with his boys with full intensity and play their best cricket possible to beat Afghanistan and return with head held high.

Here is the predicted playing XI of West Indies for match 42 of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 against Afghanistan at Headingley in Leeds:
