Samuel Badree (L) rejoices after picking up the wicket of Milinda Siriwardana.

Samuel Badree had big shoes to fill coming in as a replacement for Sunil Narine. In four game, he has certainly not done a bad job at all. He did leak runs against England but against Sri Lanka, the leg-spinner did a splendid job coming away with figures of 4-0-12-3. Against Afghanistan, his figures of 4-0-14-3 look even more unreal.

Badree has been doing a good job of not just containing the batsmen during the middle overs but also picking up wickets. He has struck up a crucial bowling partnership with Benn and the duo have been difficult to score against.

About replacing Narine for the tournament, Badree said, "Yes, we have talked about someone having to step up the fill those huge shoes. I am happy thus far in the tournament I was able to do that quite competently."
