West Indies captain Rovman Powell praises Roston Chase and Shai Hope after their thumping win against USA in the Super Eight of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

West Indies hammered USA by 9 wickets and 55 balls to spare to come out on top after the heavy loss to England couple of nights ago. The win was setup by the bowlers as the spinners ran riot through USA batters to bundle them out for a meagre 128 runs. In reply, Shai Hope blasted his highest ever T20I score (82* off 39 balls) to thrash USA and boost West Indies' NRR. Spinner Roston Chase took 3 wickets for just 19 runs in 4 overs.

“He (Chase) plays really well, plays a role very well. Keeps things tight. On a good surface, he bowled really well,” Powell said.

“He's (Hope) been fantastic, he got a chance against Afghanistan but was dropped next game against England in St Lucia because of the combination. However, he was hungry for a good performance.”

After the win, the match against South Africa on June 24 becomes a do-or-die match for West Indies to qualify for the semi-finals. “It (WI vs South Africa) should be a top game, we are up for the fight. We got a full house here to support us, that's all we can ask for,” Powell concluded.
