West Indies head coach Phil Simmons feels West Indies’ “best show” might not be enough to beat India in the final on Sunday. Simmons, a former player, was reappointed as the coach of West Indies in October. West Indies showed a lot of promise to win in Chennai but India bounced back strongly in Visakhapatnam.

“I think all the guys know we want to play our best tomorrow and even though we play our best, we might not win,” Simmons said. “The thing is we are trying to build something and the game tomorrow does not influence the direction in which we are going… But we are trying to build something and will continue to be in direction we are going.”

“The basic they are telling us is 300, 320 (would be a par score here). That’s what you have got to look at these days to win these games and especially against India, you are always looking at 320 to either make it or chase it,” he said.

The series has witnessed some interesting things between the two teams so far. While Virat Kohli had given Kesrick Williams a notebook celebration in Hyderabad T20I, the West Indies pacer had the last laugh in Thiruvananthapuram as he dismissed Kohli.

“You gotta to show me the send-offs and those animated gestures. We are staying at the same hotel and there has been no punch-ups in the hotel and we have had dinner at the same Chinese restaurant lately, a few of us. All is good between us,” he added.

West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell, their highest wicket-taker, with 12 wickets in the World Cup, got a big deal at the recent IPL auction and was bought by the Kings XI Punjab for Rs 8.5 crore.

“It’s definitely be a life-changing for anyone because he is getting a million dollars to play cricket. I don’t think it is career changing because he knows where he is at with West Indies cricket and that is a premier fast bowler right now in West Indies white ball cricket,” Phil Simmons concluded.
