“The guys are going in the right direction. It’s just to take the things we did well today and take it into the third T20I. This is the seventh game I’ve been.
On the T20 circuit that we scored 240 or 250 runs and we lost so I am quite used to it now. The fast bowlers, it was not their day today so we tried.
To take pace off with me and Reifer coming in. We have to come back in the final game. It only gets more spicier, it only gets more nicer for the.
Fans,” Powell continued. The West Indian team was able to put up a strong display in the first T20I match. They were able to take the momentum into the next game.
