West Indies head coach Daren Sammy conceded that the road to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 India became harder for his side after their devastating loss against hosts Zimbabwe in the Qualifier yesterday.
The Caribbean side dropped to third in Group A and could face a difficult road in the next stage of the Qualifier after Zimbabwe took a decisive step towards topping the group with a dramatic 35-run win, and the Netherlands eased past Nepal by seven wickets to move into second.
West Indies dropped two points, which they could have carried forward to the Super Sixes (two points are carried forward for each win against other teams that qualify from their group), but Sammy said the qualifying tournament was not yet over.
