The Windies had not tasted victory since their first match of the tournament against Pakistan, back on바카라 웹사이트May 31, ending their long바카라 웹사이트wait for further success with a 23-run triumph.
But it was not just the failure to pick up the required results that frustrated captain Holder, who felt performances as a whole were not consistently up to scratch.
"I think inconsistency let us down, we were just inconsistent in the three departments," he said in the post-match presentation.
"Our fielding has a lot to improve. Our bowlers had a really good outing - credit to each and every bowler who put up their hand whenever called up - but the batting was very inconsistent as well.
"Going forward, we need to be a lot more consistent."
Chris Gayle was playing in his final World Cup match and his captain paid tribute to the opening batsman.
"It's hard to see him playing his last World Cup game, but I just personally want to say congratulations to Chris," Holder said.
"He's been an outstanding stalwart of the game for West Indies cricket and he's done leaps and bounds for our cricket. I want to wish him all the best in all his endeavours."
While the Windies said goodbye to a great, Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib saw positives in the younger members of his바카라 웹사이트squad, with 18-year-old Ikram Ali Khil making 86 in their unsuccessful run chase.
Gulbadin said: "Ali is a youngster, an under-19 boy, but he showed his class바카라 웹사이트today바카라 웹사이트- and we have a lot of talented youngsters back at home."
And Afghanistan's skipper hoped the team would be able to learn from the experience of a World Cup campaign in which they failed to collect a point.
"We want to come prepared in every department," he said. "Hopefully I can take a lot from this tournament, how you work on your team. I have learned a lot here."
