"Play what's in front of you" is the message from West Indies coach Daren Sammy, who defended the tournament's pre-seeding system. Sammy explained that the group placement likely motivated Zimbabwe to top Group B and reach the Super Eights, surpassing expectations.
Addressing the logistics of fan travel, Sammy acknowledged the benefits of the system but emphasized that his team focuses solely on their upcoming matches against Zimbabwe, South Africa, and India. He urged his players to respect every opposition, stating that "you seldom get top teams in the same round" and that winning requires believing in their own processes.
