Too many stories and talks are around this contest, thanks to Thailand team who will be making their World Cup debut today. Their heartwarming run is something good to read but can they live up to the expectations today?
On the other end, we have West Indies, who have lost nine matches on the trot. To their defence, they did miss Dottin in a few matches and Taylor in a few as well. This is the problem for the team as they are dependent so much on an individual rather than performing as the team.
West Indies did face tough opponents in all their nine matches and in a way that is a learning phase for them before coming into the World Cup, now that they are here, the team can now look to get back to the bigger stage, where they belong.
Despite being a tricky opponent, Thailand is the perfect team where West Indies can get back to the form. However, if they can produce their A-Game, Thailand can win it as well.
It will be interesting to see the approach of the West Indies as well as Thailand. While the latter will be looking to play fearless cricket, will West Indies can play too or will they take the pressure to their heads?
