2) WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE: West Indies have a really good track record in the tournament since it started back in 2009 in England. We all remember the euphoria when we beat Australia in India in 2016 to win the title for the first time. We have reached the semi-finals quite a few times – in 2010 (in West Indies), 2012 (in Sri Lanka), 2014 (in Bangladesh) and 2018 (when we hosted at home again). So let’s cheer on our team to the semis again… and beyond.

3) WI GET TO HERE THE IAN’S VOICE: We know Ian Bishop is among the best analysts of the game. He has a few words before the matches get started.

-the former West Indies fast bowling great said. Set your alarm and plan your morning as we get ready for the BIG occasion.

First match starts on Saturday at 3 am Eastern Caribbean Time/2am Jamaica Time.
