00:00The Windies were on the verge of getting the highest ever team total in a T20 World Cup
00:05but fell just behind Sri Lanka's 264-6.
00:08However, Captain Shea Hope noted that was not their focus and praised an almost perfect
00:13game.
00:14When you get 250-plus on the board in a T20 game then you must be happy as a batting
00:19unit and then with the ball being as clinical as we did in that, especially in the middle
00:24phase and power play so I would call it more of a complete game for us but if you want
00:29to be picky there's always areas that you can improve.
00:31Hope made special mention of Shibran Hetmai's fearless approach to the games.
00:35The way how he's batting, I think sometimes he's kind of wasted down the bottom in the innings.
00:41He's such a good player, he can bat in all situations, spin, pace and to utilise him in that phase
00:48he comes out and plays with that freedom that we wanted to play with so he's been an asset
00:53for us especially in this tournament.
00:55We gave him the role from South Africa and he's embraced it.
00:58He started with a bang and he's continued with that great form so happy to see him scoring
01:03runs and everyone supporting me along the way and giving the team a big score for the
01:09bowlers to defend so I'm happy with that.
01:11The Caribbean men next clash with South Africa on Thursday and India on Sunday who were both
01:16finalists in the T20 World Cup 2024 but how are they going to approach these formidable
01:21oppositions?
01:22The way we've been playing it certainly gives us a lot of confidence and like I always say,
01:28we've got to stay in the moment.
01:29Yes, we've played well to this stage but again we've got another game in a few days and we've
01:34got to make sure we turn up on that day again so great start, great confidence booster and
01:42but those games are gone.
01:44We've got to look ahead now, we've got South Africa next and then India after so we've got
01:48to keep playing our best cricket.
01:49If we can get better, continue getting better.
01:51If we're doing what we're doing well, continue doing it.
01:54Now it's time to play it for a cup of coffee.
01:56Two weeks would be with you.
01:56You know the.
01:56Oh yeah.
01:57We're going to play out here with a cup of tea, here and here.
01:57Have you?
01:57We, have you?
01:57Bye.
01:58Bye.
