West Indies Batter Nicholas Pooran Kieron Pollard on Thursday described defending champions as an “amazing captain” t20 world cup Fight for survival against equally helpless Bangladesh. West Indies have lost both their Super 12 matches so far and another defeat against Bangladesh on Friday will end their hopes of reaching the semi-finals. He was dismissed for just 55 for a six-wicket loss against England and then was dismissed for 143 against South Africa, who won by eight wickets.
This is a far cry from the joy of their sensational last-over victory against England in the 2016 final in Kolkata.
“We have a wonderful captain. He knows what he is doing,” Pooran said.
“He gets what he says, and we support him to make some sound decisions to be successful tomorrow,” he said.
Bangladesh have been equally unconcerned after losing the qualifier against Scotland before being squeezed into the Super 12, where they lost to Sri Lanka by five wickets and England by eight wickets.
Sharjah, with its short boundaries, is a lucrative paradise for the big hitters of the game.
Afghanistan scored 190 against Scotland. Even Bangladesh had scored 171 runs before easily chasing down the target at the Gulf venue.
However, it is also a dream pitch for spinners.
Afghanistan’s Mujeeb Ur Rahman won 5-20 and Rashid Khan 4-9 against Scotland.

“Sharjah can be a tough wicket,” conceded Pooran.
“But we support all the batsmen 100 per cent. It doesn’t matter whether it is right or left handed batsman. We support them to work for us. As a team, we have already accepted It is taken that we have not come to the party.” And we’re looking forward to moving forward and hopefully we can do much better.”
