The final in Bengaluru ended in a downpour, leaving West Indies and India tied 2‑2 in the five‑match T20I series.
But Sammy was already riding the wave of victory before the rain clouds rolled in. "We entered the series with many people doubting our chances against India," he told reporters, and the team answered by matching the reigning champions on their own turf.
And the moments that mattered came when West Indies outplayed India in key areas—bowling pressure, quick scoring, and tight fielding—showing they weren’t just holding their own but were starting to outshine the hosts.
Yet the coach didn’t stop at the scoreboard. He slammed the need for greater financial support, saying the Caribbean’s rich cricket heritage deserves a safety net. "We need somebody to put a hand around the shoulder of West Indies cricket," he added, hinting that stronger backing could cement their place on the international stage.
With confidence restored and a taste of victory, the West Indies squad will now turn its sights to the ICC T20 World Cup, hoping to carry this momentum forward.
