The Asian side will have to toil hard in their remaining games against West Indies and India to end their campaign on a high.

With a sole win in their seven outings, West Indies team have been struggling to find form in England. Apart from the frontline pacers, none of the other players have had much impact for the two-time world champions in this World Cup. Jason Holder will be gunning for his men to register a win from this game.
