It’s World Cup Eve.

The day before the big day, and West Indies will hope to use the final hours ahead of their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup opening encounter to finalise their plans and get in a full training session. 

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. local time in India (5:30 a.m. Barbados Time) they bowl off against giant-killers Scotland in a Group C match-up which is being billed a “something worth seeing”.

 Shai Hope, the West Indies captain in his first global event at the helm, spent most of yesterday talking up his team’s chances of a third T20 World Cup triumph as the ICC hosted a lavish “Captains’ Carnival” at the famous Wankhede Stadium in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. The rest of the squad travelled to the eastern-most city of Kolkata where they settled in and will have the night-time session at 6 p.m. at the historic Eden Gardens.
