West Indies head coach Daren Sammy praised captain Shai Hope’s T20I approach ahead of the Super Eight clash against Zimbabwe, noting Hope’s 155 runs at a 134.78 strike rate with two fifties, and his improved form over three years with 1,117 runs in 38 matches at a strike rate above 145. Sammy highlighted Hope’s role in enabling teammates like Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford to thrive, emphasizing team depth and unity. He acknowledged Zimbabwe’s Blessing Muzarabani as a key threat but said the team is prepared for all opponents.
