Crisis man

T20 World Cup: Ahead of West Indies returning to Men’s T20 World Cup action through their Group C clash against Uganda on Sunday, off-spin all-rounder Roston Chase said the co-hosts have to improve upon their dot-ball batting percentage, especially in the middle overs.

West Indies had suffered a scare while chasing a modest 137 in a five-wicket win over minnows Papua New Guinea in its tournament opener. The two-time champions saw half of their side down for 97 and played a lot of dot balls in the middle overs, before Chase’s 42 not out, along with Andre Russell’s unbeaten 15 helped them get over the line.

“For us, it's a case of where we have to improve our dot ball percentage, especially in the middle overs. I mean, the pitch was a difficult one that we played on in the first game. So, I think it's a case where we just need to not panic too quickly.”
