Bridgetown [Barbados]: Following West Indies' four-wicket win against England in the first T20I match of the five-game series at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Wednesday, the Caribbean skipper Rovman Powell said that it was a good performance from his team.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Powell revealed they got information about how the pitch was playing and made their plans accordingly. He added that they need to improve in the upcoming games of the series and have to control their bowling powerplay.
He also said that they are not thinking about the 2024 T20 World Cup currently and are looking at every possible opportunity before the start of the ICC tournament.
"It was a good performance. After the batting PP, we got information about how the pitch was playing and we adjusted to that. I don't think about captaincy when I'm batting, it comes only later, I just try and play my natural game. There is still room for improvement, we have to control the powerplay (with the ball), if we do that, not a lot of teams will have such power down the order and they'll be on the back foot. We aren't thinking about the World Cup as yet, we're looking at the possible opportunities before that tournament, get our team set and then we have a good chance," Powell said.
