WT20 Final: WI bowl first against Eng

KOLKATA: West Indian captain Darren Sammy won the toss and chose to bowl first against England in the final clash of ICC WT20 2016 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

 Both teams have made no changes in their winning combinations.

“At the end of the day, we want the fans to be entertained and we come out victories. No changes. We came into this tournament with a lot of confidence. Not many gave us a chance, but we knew what we could do. Today we just have to take one more step. I said we have 15 match-winners. So far somebody has taken responsibility to take the team home. We’ve been inspired by the Under-19 boys and seeing the women be victorious, we are inspired”

“Would have had a bowl first,” says Morgan, “Looks a really good surface. Big covering of grass, normally its quite bare and takes a bit of turn. Unchanged as well. I think in all three facets of the game, we’ve grown in confidence. [On Gayle] As much as we did before any team meeting, its important to stress we dont focus on one player. The India semi-final proved that”
