Shai Hope

West Indies captain who praised Roston Chase after the second T20I.

“Amazing. On a surface and a field like this, to go out six runs and over is unbelievable. So he really kept us in the game. It was very difficult conditions to bowl on, so the way he bowled and kept us in the game made it a lot easier for us to chase that score.”
