Scotland vs West Indies T20 World Cup Live Score: Sammy backs WI

Scotland vs West Indies T20 World Cup Live Score: WI head coach Sammy believes that his side can stage a turnaround. West Indies were one of the best teams at one point, and had cemented their dominance in T20s. But due to administrative issues and players' choice of franchise leagues, the country's cricket has been in decline.

"We, between 2007 to 2016, we developed leagues all over the world and developed the T20 game as well," said Sammy.

"But with that, our talent was we never really had it. Look at that 2016 team, never got the opportunity to pass on the knowledge to the crop that we have now.

"So a lot has been against us, but now we're here in the World Cup and we believe that we could have an impact and that impact could take us to winning. It will take a massive effort from everyone, but one that is not impossible," he added.
