00:00The West Indies are currently trailing New Zealand 2-1 going into the fourth ODI in Barbados on Sunday.
00:06The pressure is on Shea Hope's men to not only win the two remaining games,
00:09but also earn valuable World Cup qualification points.
00:13These games hold a lot more weight, probably a bit more than the others.
00:17But we've still got to play each game as it comes.
00:21We've got to ensure that we follow all of our processes and execute it when the time comes.
00:25Because as we name a game tomorrow especially, being able to execute under pressure and in those crucial moments.
00:31Following the passing of West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers at the age of 89 on Friday,

01:05great man.
01:06And hopefully we can get the results that we really want in his honour as well.
01:09Hope scored a match-winning 87 not out in the first game, but then had single-digit scores in the
01:14second and third ODIs.
01:16And what does he make of his form going into the next match?
01:30As a tribute to Sir Garfield Sobers, admission is free for patrons attending the two remaining ODIs at the Kensington
01:43Oval.
