New Delhi, Jan. 19 -- West Indies and Afghanistan face off in a three-match T20I series, starting on Monday in an attempt to finetune their preparations ahead of next month's T20 World Cup 2026. With just less than a month to go for the mega event, the T20I series in Dubai will evaluate both team's bench strengths before the ball gets rolling in the T20 World Cup.

Afghanistan are on a four-match winning streak in the shortest format. The Rashid Khan-led side will be looking to continue their momentum. On the other hand, West Indies will use this series to test their depth in the side. The last time West Indies faced Afghanistan, it was during the T20 World Cup 2024, where the Caribbean side won by 104 runs.

Date: January 19
