AFG vs WI [WATCH]: 6,6,6! Shimron Hetmyer smokes Noor Ahmad for a triple six assault in 2nd T20I

International cricket witnessed a tactical masterclass and a momentary explosion of Caribbean power at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on January 21, 2026. In the 2nd T20I between Afghanistan and West Indies, the hosts secured a dominant 39-run victory to clinch the three-match series 2-0. While Afghanistan’s disciplined bowling headlined the night, the highlight reel was momentarily hijacked by a vintage display of aggression from Shimron Hetmyer.

Shimron Hetmyer unleashes carnage as Noor Ahmad concedes three sixes in an over

The chase of 190 was stuttering at 38/3 when Hetmyer walked to the crease with an appetite for destruction. The southpaw, known for his ability to dismantle spin, chose the 10th over to launch a calculated assault on the young prodigy Noor Ahmad.

The carnage began on the second ball of the 10^th over. Noor tossed the ball up on the stumps, searching for turn, but Hetmyer stayed balanced and sent it soaring into the top tier of the Dubai stands. Sensing the pressure, Noor attempted to shorten his length on the third delivery (9.3). It was a mistake. Hetmyer sat deep in his crease and pulled the half-tracker over the leg side for a massive maximum.

After a brief dot-ball reprieve on the fourth delivery, Noor went back to his fuller length for the fifth ball. Hetmyer, in a zone of absolute clarity, drilled the tossed-up delivery over wide long-on to complete a spectacular hat-trick of sixes. In just one over, Hetmyer had injected life into the West Indies dugout, scoring 46 off just 17 balls at a blistering strike rate of 270.58. However, his dismissal in the 14th over proved to be the turning point that the Windies could not recover from.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s magic and Darwish Rasooli’s power guide Afghanistan to 2-0 Series Win

Earlier in the evening, Afghanistan’s total of 189/4 was built on the back of a sensational 115-run partnership between Sediqullah Atal (53 off 42) and Darwish Rasooli. Rasooli, the catalyst of the innings, smashed 68 off 39 balls, including five boundaries and five sixes, to earn a staggering 80.22 MVP points. A late cameo by Azmatullah Omarzai (26* off 13) ensured the total remained out of reach for the visitors.

The West Indies chase never found its rhythm, largely due to a legendary spell from Mujeeb Ur Rahman. The mystery spinner was the undisputed Player of the Match, finishing with figures of 4/21. Mujeeb’s performance was highlighted by a unique rolling hat-trick spread across his spells, claiming the wickets of Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, and eventually the set Brandon King (50 off 41) to break the back of the Caribbean middle order.

With this clinical performance, Rashid Khan’s men have proven their mettle on the global stage, combining explosive batting with a world-class spin attack that even the power hitters of the Caribbean found impossible to decipher.
