Two times champion but currently out of short, the West Indies will want to raise their game by a couple of indents when they open their mission against favourites England in a Super 12 match of the ICC men's T20 World Cup in Dubai on Saturday.
A group loaded with the absolute most ruinous T20 players, the West Indies cut a sorry figure in the two warm-up games against Pakistan and Afghanistan and would have to rapidly disregard the failure in front of the competition legitimate.
It was helpless batting which cost them both the training matches. While against Pakistan, the Carribean group neglected to set up a battling all out, scoring an unassuming 130 for 7, Kieron Pollard's men oversaw 133-5 in their pursuit of 189 against Afghanistan.
Roston Chase's 54 off 58 balls against Afghanistan was the main feature of their batting as different players could generally not benefit from their beginnings in both the matches.
Pollard showed some sparkle when he hit a 10-ball 23 with five limits against Pakistan and his completing abilities will assume a major part for the group in the competition.
England are the dominant World heroes in ODI cricket and will tingle to settle the apparitions of the 2016 version when Carlos Brathwaite had crushed four progressive sixes in the last to end their fantasies.
