Too much pressure to be batting second!🤔

That's easy to seh now...it all depends on yuh resources an wuh the ream is confident doing ..i would prefer Windies to chase cos batting is our strength.....look how NZ battered SA chasing....an Hengland almost beat India in the semis chasing a similar target ...so easy to be wise after the event...we can all do dat!!!!!

Bro, I’m been saying that forever!
Almost, is not a win! More like desperation!

In the last month in the series against NZ, India chased 200 in 15 overs, 150 in 10 overs . Then they asked Santner how many runs you need to score against these guys. He said "300" lol Santner knew how fast they chased in that series.

Listen bro! I’m just reiterating my T20 belief. My philosophy will always be to bat first once it’s in my control!

If you don't have 8 bankable overs that call is not that straight forward. India had Bumrah. So they defended at Wankhede. If you don't have one you can't do.

if you are a team batting first and can’t defend 250, you need to play a different sport my friend!

Dude...the game is evolving whereby bat on batting friendly tracks is dominating ball ..par scores are increasing cos fuh the most part the batting has improved more than the bowling...would you be confident of Windies defending 250 on a great track against the likes of India,SA,NZ, Hengland an Aus?..not saying ALL on any given day would definitely achieve the 250 but reckon maybe 3 would esp in India with the dew factor and if yuh dnt have the likes of the great Bumrah to help defend it!!
