New Delhi. The important match of the Super-8 stage between West Indies and India has brought a ‘do or die’ situation. Darren Sammy, who has also been the captain of the 2012-2016 T20 World Cup winning team, before this match scratched the old wounds of India and reminded him of the 2016 T20 World Cup defeat. At that time, West Indies had made it to the finals by defeating India in the semi-finals and lifted the trophy for the second time by defeating England.

warning of history repeating

Darren Sammy said before the match, “Well, there is a saying that history can repeat itself, even if the venue is different. But these are two different teams, both trying to progress in the tournament. I still feel that we will have to go through India at some point to win this tournament. Tomorrow is that day for us. We have to play a good match of cricket to win. I am looking forward to this match.”

He told that the importance of the game is very big and the number of spectators will also be very large. “It will still feel like a match between David and Goliath, but like I said in 2016—David beat Goliath—so that’s what I’m going to tell my players tomorrow,” Sammy said.

Team ready, waiting for the toss

Sammy concluded, “All my players are ready to fight when called tomorrow. Now we just have to wait for the toss to select 11 players.”
