West Indies Women arrived in Guyana on Monday for their final three T20 internationals against India Women and after losing the first two of the five-match series Assistant Coach Rayon Griffith is adamant that the team needs to play better cricket.
Speaking exclusively to this newspaper during their practice session at the National Stadium, Providence yesterday, when asked about what needs to be done for the team to come back to winning ways, Griffith responded, “We have to bat and we have to bowl and field as well, we have to simply come and play better cricket than the opposition.”
Looking at the two previous matches, Griffith said that the side has outlined where they came up short and has been working on it since, reflecting especially on the side’s batting. West Indies Women have scored 101 and 103 respectively in the two matches so far. “We know where we came up short and we worked on that, we didn’t bat well, even if you look at the Indians they had a good first game scoring 185, I think they really batted well, they outplayed us…Coming into this game we know those are already past so at the moment we are focusing on what we have to do, we have to keep believing in ourselves and get that energy back,” the Assistant Coach said.
