ICC World cup 2019: 3 reasons why West Indies can win the tournament

#1 Power across the squad: Abundance of Power Hitters and Brute Pacers

Hetmyer and Shai Hope

West Indies, as a cricketing side, over the years, has seen some magnificent power hitters and tearaway pacers make their way into the team and establish themselves as mainstays in the team.

Even in the present day, this team is blessed with some amazingly talented players. Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Darren Bravo form a fearsome batting quartet along with Gayle and all of them are blessed with differing capabilities.

Lewis and Hetmyer are regarded as brutal hitters of the cherry and Hope and Bravo being capable of dropping anchor when required. In addition to this, they have the all-round abilities of Andre Russell and Carlos Brathwaite which make their batting order extremely fearsome.

Also, after a long time, the West Indies has a pace attack that can, on good days, bully the best sides into submission. Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel, Sheldon Cottrell, and Oshane Thomas along with Jason Holder form a fiery pace attack.

With the kind of talent on offer in this West Indian side, one cannot deny their chances at the World Cup.
