The confident West Indies Women cricket squad is aiming to dominate over under-prepared Pakistani women team in their opening WT20 match.
"The preparation leading up to the World Cup has been great for us. We have good preparatory matches and camps, so (there are) no reasons to complain at all. We had an unsuccessful warm-up match against Australia, but we do have the potential to go through the tournament strongly, and we will get over the mistakes we made in that game and put out our best against Pakistan tomorrow," West Indies batter Merissa Aguilleira said ahead of the WT20 opener.
The skipper of the 2012 Women's World Cup winner, Pakistan, Sana Mir, has said that her side can surprise opponents like they had done before. "Every team would like to reach the venue well in advance but we utilise the time available to prepare ourselves well. On any given day, we can surprise our opponents like we had done before and this is what we are expected to do in this World Cup too," Mir said on the eve of match. "We have very good combination of spin and fast bowlers in our ranks and we need to prove ourselves on the ground in the morrow."
