Now to our new series, The Run Up, which deals with the West Indies team leading all the way to next month's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

In segment three, we meet with some people in Port-of-Spain to find out if they think the West Indies can win the tournament.
Transcript
00:00The first time the West Indies won the T20 World Cup was in 2012, defeating host Sri Lanka in the
00:23final. Four years later, they did so again in India, beating England in a nail biter. The two
00:28countries where they won it are now joint hosts. So the question is, can they make it three T20 titles?
00:34Well, I think they have a good chance, you know, once they keep to the game plan and push themselves
00:39and go take another team, I think there will be victorious in the end. So I think they have a
00:44good chance in winning. And I know the captain hope will push them towards the victory that they've
00:49been working hard to deserve. So that's my take on it. No chance whatsoever. That's it. You want more
00:58than that? They just have no chance. If they get three T20 World Cup, I'll be quite surprised. I
01:01don't think they might make it to the LNF World Cup.
01:04West Indies going for a third title on the subcontinent. Do you think they have a good
01:08chance? Yes, West Indies has a good chance. West Indies have always had a good chance at
01:13T20 cricket. On the basis of when you look at, I don't know if you all could recall that game they
01:19won against England in the final. I think the surprising element will be West Indies because
01:23they can come from behind and win a tournament of the sort. Tests, challenging. 50 overs,
01:28challenge. But 2020, I think West Indies have a good chance. How good a chance do you think the
01:32West Indies have? It's T20 cricket on the day anything can happen. I think if they work as a
01:38team and bat sensible, not to always give up the wicket and no winter, you know, build a partnership,
01:42they would be good. It's cricket. You work hard as a team, keep the unity and anything possible.
01:47I give them a 100% chance because as a West Indian, from my heart, cricket is my love, you know.
01:54I just drink, sleep, wake up with cricket. My mind is going to cricket. So, I give them the best
02:00chance for somebody. I give them a 100% chance. I think they're optimistic. I don't want to be,
02:06you know, negative. You know, because I always wish West Indies cricket well. Right? So,
02:12I'm glad if they do well. Right? But we need the selection and certain people at the top day,
02:17by the other goal. Right? Your take on the West Indies winning a third T20 World Cup title?
02:24Well, I don't think they have a chance because of the selection and because they're not taking
02:27the best team. But they are sort of good players they have. They did not give them a chance.
02:32I guess for them, you know, they're not really selecting the right team to really perform
02:38the best that they have. I have a probability selection from way, from not known for many years back,
02:46that they never pick the right team, the best team they could play. Winner World Cup here.
02:51So, remember, they're standard dropping back, right through.
02:54Time will tell if the Windies can bring it home. They play their opener against Bangladesh on February 7th.
03:00The others in their group are England, Italy and Nepal. Venudh Nawani, Chiefs Export.
03:16Two of them are gaming team.
