The last group stage match against Italy is up next here on Thursday and batting coach Floyd Reifer says there won’t be any letup.
“We take every game seriously,” Reifer said on Wednesday ahead of a round of practice. “It’s another opportunity for us to keep ticking our boxes. To make sure that we are controlling the different phases in the games that we speak about in the team meetings. Tomorrow’s game will be like that in terms of getting the opportunities to get accustomed.”
Their leading batters have been in good form and that will help their confidence ahead of the Super 8s. Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford have all been among runs. Brendon King and Rovman Powell too have got starts.
