New Delhi: The West Indies cricket team has struggled to play a full 50 overs in ODIs over the past two years and the team's head coach Phil Simmons said that in the three-match ODI series against India starting on Friday, his team will be able to play this game. Would like to improve the department. At the same time, the Indian team had all out England in the last three matches.
If we look at the statistics, the West Indies team has been able to play the entire 50 overs in just six out of 39 innings since the ODI World Cup 2019. He has lost nine of the last 13 ODI series. The Simons-coached team also suffered a defeat to Ireland at home earlier this year. Simmons told media persons on the eve of the first ODI against India, "The important thing is how we bat for the entire 50 overs. We have to bat for the entire 50 overs by building the innings and playing partnerships. One has to stay at the crease and maintain the innings and focus on scoring a century. In batting, we have to do that.''
Simmons has been the head coach of the West Indies since 2019. He hopes that his players will get more help than India on the friendly pitches here. "The better wicket we get, the better it will be for our batsmen and bowlers.'' However, he also said, "The bowling and fielding are constantly improving. In fielding, we consider our team to be top-class. Our bowlers are bowling well as well. They have to focus on curbing the run rate and taking wickets. Only by doing this can we win by getting the opposition out on a low score.''
