00:00Having beaten defending champions New Zealand by seven wickets in their opener,
00:04the West Indies players are in good spirits ahead of their next women's T20 World Cup clash against Scotland on
00:09Thursday.
00:10Having said that, keeper batter Shemaine Campbell has utmost respect for the Scots, whom the Windies face in Group 2.
00:17You know, all the team is going to come hard. Scotland, you know, they've been improving and, you know, they
00:20get good players,
00:22good players, good brand of cricket. So for us, it's just to go out and play positive cricket and don't
00:27take anyone for granted.
00:28Last year, the West Indies lost their fifth over World Cup qualifier to Scotland and missed out on playing in
00:35the ICC tournament in India.
00:36So are the Windies looking to take revenge?
00:40We're just going to come and play hard cricket and they will come hard as well.
00:44But for us, it's just to, you know, remain, you know, confident, positive and just come and play West Indies
00:49brand of cricket.
00:50Looking back at the clash against New Zealand, Aliyah Alain was brilliant with the ball, taking four for 27.
00:56And it was clearly understandable that she was elated following her performance.
01:01It's always an honour and a privilege to represent West Indies and to be able to go there and get
01:05career best figures.
01:07Now that made a big deal to me and it is the best start off of any tournament.
01:12Alain says it's a relief to win the opening game since it takes away some pressure.
01:17The 31-year-old says the Windies need to capitalise on the opportunities that come their way.
01:22I think as a team, we just have to, or our own game, I should say, like, let me get
01:28some good starts, whether if we are chasing or we are setting the totals.
01:32So I think for us, it's not putting our hand down.
01:36I think for us to just full speed ahead, we just have to stay focused, stay together and enjoy the
01:42game.
01:42Besides New Zealand and Scotland, the Windies have England, Ireland and Sri Lanka in their group.
01:48We know what now, or any teams export.
