IT’S NOT “do or die” for West Indies, but captain Jason Holder is hoping to celebrate his 100th One-Day International with a victory that would keep his team in the hunt for a semi-final place when their ICC World Cup campaign resumes today.
Their recent record against Bangladesh has not been very encouraging though, having just lost to them in the tri-series in Ireland and also in their last series in 2018. However, captain Holder, who marks the special occasion, is confident they can turn the tide.
Down to sixth position, they need two points to keep alive in the tournament, but West Indies desperately need to pick up the pieces after Friday’s disastrous match against England which they lost by eight wickets.
“I know they (Bangladesh) have had the better of us in the recent past, but this is a different time, different occasion. We have to play some consistent cricket going into the second half of this tournament for us to make the semi-finals,” said Holder.
