Among the first 5 batsmen in the West Indies squad, none other than Shamarh Brooks has played well. Boorks scored 42 runs off 43 balls, with a strike rate of less than 100. Batting like this against a big target like 186 is not possible to win. On the other hand, experienced batsmen like Hetmyre returned to the dressing room after collecting only 2 runs. Until the West Indies batsmen can get back on track, we will continue to see poor performances from them.
What do you expect from West Indies? They used to be good in the T20 format. But given their recent performances, I have doubt about that as well. The Kiwis had some classy batsmen such as Kane Williamson and Devon Conway. But even then, the West Indian bowlers conceded too many runs. Their inconsistency is surprising. Obed McCoy was smashed all around the park, days after he had his 6-wicket haul against India. When are we going to witness some consistent performance from the West Indians?
