Daren Sammy told his West Indies group to put their eight-wicket misfortune to Britain “in the trash” and demanded that they can in any case win a remarkable third men’s T20 World Cup. At the stadium named after Sammy, West Indies set England 181 to win in St. Lucia. However, they only took two wickets as the defending champions cruised home with 15 balls to spare, primarily thanks to Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow’s unbroken 97-run partnership for the third wicket. Sammy stated that his team was “about 25 runs short” of a winning total only on a flat pitch. “It’s important for the game,” Sammy said. “We will not be discouraged by this loss. We still think we have a team that could win this World Cup, and when I talk to the guys inside, I’ll tell them to park this game and throw it away. Furthermore, we push ahead to Barbados where we win against the USA, and afterward we have South Africa in Antigua on Sunday. “Nobody said it would have been simple. There are great groups in the competition. We were up against the defending champions today, and they prevailed. However, this does not mean that our tournament is over. Our destiny is in our own hands, and I believe I have the 15 men who believe we can win this tournament.” West Indies rolled out two improvements to the side that whipped Afghanistan on Monday, returning to the XI that beat New Zealand in Trinidad. Roston Pursue and Romario Shepherd – who missed Monday’s down on paternity leave – supplanted Shai Trust and Obed McCoy, who took 3 for 14 against Afghanistan and was lamentable to pass up a great opportunity.
