West Indies T20 captain Rovman Powell is confident as his team prepares to face New Zealand in their upcoming ICC World Cup group stage match in Tarouba.
Having secured a convincing 134-run victory over Uganda, one of the largest margins in tournament history, the Windies are riding high.
In contrast, New Zealand’s campaign suffered a setback with a heavy defeat, scoring only 75 runs in their pursuit of Afghanistan’s 160 last Friday.
Powell expressed optimism about the team’s morale and readiness, despite some skepticism about their capabilities.
He emphasized their recent strong performances as proof of their potential.
Looking ahead, Powell stressed the team’s focus on taking each match seriously and delivering entertaining cricket for their fans.
The match scheduled for Wednesday marks the first T20 World Cup game at the Brian Lara Stadium, inaugurated in 2017.
With Afghanistan leading Group C with an impressive Net Run Rate of 5.225 and the Windies following closely with two consecutive wins, the stage is set for an exciting encounter.
Meanwhile, New Zealand faces the challenge of potentially exiting the tournament early.
