00:00Darren Sami said you cannot win the T20 World Cup without going through India.
00:05He also likened tomorrow's matchup as David versus Goliath, with India obviously being Goliath.
00:10Despite the daunting task, Echiki Sami believes history can repeat itself.
00:15Tomorrow is that day for us, and we've got to play a good game of cricket in order to come
00:21out victorious.
00:22I'm excited for the contest.
00:26As you could see so many journalists here, you know the importance of the game.
00:31And I'm pretty sure they'll have, what, 80,000 here tomorrow and then another 1.4 billion supporting India.
00:38You know, so it will still feel as, you know, a David and Goliath showdown.
00:44But like I said in 2016, David did defeat Goliath.
00:48So that's what I'm going to tell my boys tomorrow.
00:52The St. Lucian was tight-lipped about his 11 for tomorrow, and also said they are leaving the South Africa
00:57performance behind them.
00:59As for the threat of the Indian spinners, Sami said they have catered for everything.
01:04We respect every opposition.
01:06Do we have our plans against each bowlers, and vice versa, our bowlers versus their batsmen?
01:14Yes. Like I said, we've got to play a complete game.
01:18You know, the team has quality.
01:22They've got match winners, just like we do.
01:24And it's a battle of who executes with both bat and ball, and I add the field in as well.
01:32Sami was the skipper when West News defeated India on the way to the 2016 title,
01:36and gave his prediction for the outcome tomorrow.
01:39The mindset of the camp is good.
01:43You know, I think it was here we started when I said, I feel something special is about to happen.
01:50The mindset, and I saw it, and I said so because of the focus I saw in the team.
01:56The mindset, the attention to detail, the attention to their preparation, and I still believe that.
02:04You know, and let me see if my words come true tomorrow.
