T20 WC: West Indies Opt To Bowl Against Nepal, Forde Comes In For Shepherd
Two dominant victories over Scotland and England have propelled the West Indies to the top of the table, leaving them on the brink of a Super 8s spot. Nepal, in contrast, remain without points after a narrow four-run loss to England and a heavy 10-wicket defeat to Italy, making this fixture crucial for their hopes.
After winning the toss, Windies skipper Shai Hope said, “ Look, a little bit of moisture in the surface, probably a little bit more damp than we expected, so try to utilise as much as we can. (How to keep the same intensity?) You just said it, we just need to do the same thing. It's important for us to ensure that we cover all our bases. We understand the threat that they can pose. So it's important that we just focus on our processes and hit all the straps that we can. Yes, one change. Shepherd out, Matthew Forde comes in. Slight little niggle, Shepherd's been struggling a little bit, but we just want to make sure precautionary measures are being put in place, and Forde can come in and do the job. So we're very happy to give him some rest today.”
