A superlative century (109 not out) by Shai Hope enabled West Indies to sweep the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan with a comprehensive five-wicket win on Monday. This was their first ODI series win as well as sweep since 2014 against Bangladesh.

A target of 250 required West Indies batsmen to be at their best in face of four-pronged spin attack, led by skipper Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi and Sharafuddin Ashraf. But with opener Hope playing a sheet-anchor role and other batsmen giving him adequate support, West Indies romped home with eight balls to spare.
