World Cup 2019: Rating the performance of all the teams

#9 West Indies

Rating: 2/10

West Indies finished the tournament in 9th place

After a dominant victory against Pakistan, West Indies were considered favourites to enter the semi-finals. However, it all went downhill from there. Poor form, controversial umpiring decisions, and injuries contributed towards West Indies’ early exit from the tournament. Chris Gayle, Shai Hope, and Andre Russell were in tremendous form heading into the tournament, but none of them could deliver when it mattered the most.

Andre Russell struggled throughout the tournament with an injury which impacted his performance with the bat and ball. While their bowling showed glimpses of their rich tradition their batting, particularly their top order, succumbed to the pressure of the big stage.

There were a couple of matches in the tournament they should’ve won, but they failed to hold their nerves together. As a result, they finished the tournament with just two wins out of nine games.
