Chris Gayle returned to the West Indies team to inspire the regional side to their first warm up win ahead of the world t20 tournament in Sri Lanka with a comfortable victory over Afghanistan in Colombo.
Gayle smashed 5 fours and four sixes in making 65 not out from 48 balls as West Indies cruised to an eight wicket triumph 125 for 2 in the 16th over after being set 123 to win.
Fellow Jamaican Marlon Samuels made an unbeaten 15 from 12 balls after Dwayne Smith fell for 13 from 20 and Johnson Charles 12 from 19.
Earlier, pacer Fidel Edwards picked up 3 for 24 and spinner Sunil Narine 2 for 23 as West Indies restricted Afghanistan to 122 for 7.
Asghar Stanikzai top scored with 53 from 50 balls.
Playing without Gayle, Samuels and captain Darren Sammy, West Indies lost their opening warm up game against host Sri Lanka.
The regional side will face Australia in their first game on September 22 in Colombo
