Opener Nicholas Pooran blasted 98 runs from 53 balls as the West Indies beat Afghanistan by 104 runs.
Pooran struck eight sixes and helped the co-hosts pile up 218-5 - the highest score of the tournament so far.
Afghanistan allrounder Omarzai conceded a record 36 in one over during the Powerplay. Pooran smashed three sixes and a pair of fours during Omarzai’s second over which included some wayward bowling. The 36 runs equaled Yuvraj Singh's long-standing record for most runs in one over at a Men’s T20 World Cup.
In reply, Obed McCoy took 3-14 as Afghanistan was bowled out for 114 in 16.2 overs.
West Indies 218 for 5 (Pooran 98, Charles 43, Naib 2-14) beat Afghanistan 114 (Ibrahim 38, McCoy 3-14) by 104 runs.
