Quotes
Shai Hope
West Indies captain and batter
“I even thought about the overs that the Indian team were behind. So, I knew they would have to bring a couple of fielders in, in the back end. So, it's always tough when you're trying to defend a score, and you got to have five men in the ring. So, all those things I calculated when I was batting. Just so happened that everything worked out for us in the back end.”

“I had a great chat with the great man MS Dhoni; he was telling me you always have more time than you think. So just trying not to focus too much on the end result. Just look at the process, try to break the game down as best as I can and find ways to get the boundaries in the back end.”
