West Indies Preview
West Indies' performance hasn't been particularly good lately. They lost the last series against Afghanistan by 2-1; after that, they started this series against South Africa with a defeat.
In the last match, West Indies set a good target of 173 runs while batting first, but they failed to defend it and lost the match by nine wickets.
Simran Hitman batted well and scored 48 runs in 32 balls, while Roman Powell and Brendon King also played short but important innings of 29 and 27, respectively. After which, the West Indies managed to reach a good respectable score.
Apart from them, middle-order batsman Sherfane Rutherford is also in great form at the moment, having batted brilliantly in the SA20 league and scored 334 runs in 11 matches at an average of 66.80.
Bowling has been a major challenge for the West Indies for some time now, with their bowlers failing to put pressure on the opposition by taking early wickets. In the previous match too, West Indies bowlers took just one wicket, which cost them the match.
