When West Indies play in the World Cup they look like a totally different team. In the ongoing T20 World Cup, the Shai Hope-led team won their previous two games against Scotland and England. Interestingly, WI, who face Nepal at the Wankhede Stadium in a Sunday morning game, lost 1-2 to their Asian opponents at Sharjah last September.

Caribbean left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein admitted that Nepal are a strong unit. “They [Nepal] are a well-gelled unit. If you check the amount of games they have played together, it’s quite a lot. Yes, they did defeat us in Sharjah, but most of our seniors weren’t there. So, it’s a match we look forward to, but we know what they’re capable of. We saw it in the last couple of games. They are a well-knit unit. On that day, you have to play your best cricket,” Hosein said during the pre-match press conference on Saturday.
