00:00The West Indies have two wins from as many matches, which sees them leading Group C.
00:05The men in Maroon took care of Scotland by 35 runs and then England by 30 runs.
00:10The next assignment for them is against Nepal on Sunday in Mumbai.
00:14Even though Nepal are minnows in world cricket, left-arm spinner Akeel Hossein says the Windies are not going to
00:20take them lightly.
00:21I think you could see from the start of the tournament in the first round,
00:26most of the bigger teams were in a spot of butter.
00:30So in this World Cup, it's not one to take anyone lightly.
00:34Preparation is going to be the same, mindset is going to be the same, and it's just about executing.
00:38At the end of the day, it's a World Cup, and these teams had to do what they had to
00:43do to get to the World Cup.
00:44So for us, it's not about taking anyone for granted.
00:47It's just about going out there and playing another cricket match against our position, not so much coming up against
00:53a name.
00:53As far as Nepal are concerned, they lost by four runs to England and then by 10 wickets to Italy
01:00at this World Cup.
01:01Despite being on the brink of elimination, Hossein says the Asians are a quality team.
01:06I think they are a well-gelled unit.
01:08If you check the amount of games they've played together, it's quite a lot.
01:15Yes, they did defeat us in Sharjah, but most of our seniors weren't there.
01:20So it's a match we look forward to, but we know what they can do, we know what they're capable
01:25of.
01:26We saw it in the last couple of games.
01:28These guys really know their ins and outs with their players, they know how to play, so we're going to
01:33treat it as such.
01:34From 92 T20 internationals, Hossein has 87 wickets and a reasonable economy rate of 7.39.
01:42The 32-year-old is one who picks the brain of others, including former Wendy's leg spinner Samuel Badry.
01:48Sam is someone I chat with frequently on the phone or in person.
01:54He's here as well, so it's a big help for me.
01:57You can see the times before the match, if he's on the ground, I'd have a chat with him.
02:02We'd go, we'd kind of analyze the pitch together.
02:05So it's a really good help for me to have him here.
02:08Someone who's been there, done that, who's had a lot of success and plays a similar role as myself in
02:14the power play.
02:15I look up to him, you know, he played that role brilliantly.
02:18After playing Nepal, the Wendy's have one more game in Group C against Italy on February 19th.
02:24Vino would now warn you, Chiefs Expo.
