From Cricinfo:

West Indies win the toss and bowl, Darren Sammy says the wicket has a bit of grass and he wants his bowlers to exploit the conditions first up. "We back our batters to chase." Eoin Morgan suggests he would have done the same and also mentions the "dew factor" for later on.

West Indies have gone with two spinners, leaving out Jason Holder, and there's confirmation from England that Willey is playing ahead of Plunkett.
 
Potential QF - loser 'll almost certainly miss the cut.

I think WI is going to win it - PAK made ENG a great T20 side, but they actually are not.
 
West Indies vs England | WT20 Super 10's | 16th March, 2016 | Mumbai | Match Thread

WI won the toss and are bowling first
 
Watch out for Eng , big title contenders imo . I wont be surprised if its a Eng vs NZ final
 
SA need to get rid of chokers tag, on paper there's know one stopping them.

SA wont do much , when their best T20 bat is dumminy . That team is just AB , if he turns up in every match then may be . I will be surprised if they make it to semis

They have qdk and Miller as well who will be lethal if the pitches are flat.
Faf can hit big when he wants to and Tahir is good in limited overs cricket.
 
Are we going to see another Buttler special ?

England well placed to attack in final 7 overs, 8 wickets in hand.

If Killer Miller from kings xi Punjab decides to show up then it's game over for many teams
 
Tomorrow is Afghanistan vs Srilanka, I have a feeling Afghans are going to pull a win tomorrow.
 
Should have gotten 190/200 here. Disappointed, but WI need to get huge credit too.

Anything over 170 is good but chaseable on these pitches.
 
I thought two umpires were batting but upon a close look it was english players.

Copied umpires' kit.
 
Moeen hits a six off his very first ball.

Holder should do better given he's 6ft 7.
 
England finish with 182-6. Sets up a good runchase, lots of firepower in this WI batting though not the easiest of surfaces. Not convinced about England's bowling as yet.
 
Btw why isn't Holder not playing. Would have done better than Jerome Taylor

qdk dont rate him as a T20 bat , miller wont do much against good attacks . Form me they are a very one dimensional team , they always struggle to adapt especially in a multi team tournament where you need a Plan A , B and C
 
WI should have selected Kraig Brathwaite instead of Johnathan Charles. What did Kraig do to not deserve a spot ?
 
Nick knight is good but hes very biased

Ironically a large amount of people I know over here in England find Nick Knight to be one of the worst sky commentators. Has a tendency to state the obvious a bit too often as well.
 
They are not bothered about running between the wickets.

Exactly will struggle in big grounds -last two in Nagpur vs Saffer and Afghans,will probably destroy Lanka in Bangalore almost second home for Gayle.
 
That lbw decision proving costly so far. A misfield from Jordan? What is the world coming to :D.
 
The lbw that was hitting the stumps therefore should have been out, I'm not going through this again :D.

Ball was flicking the bails for Pandya last night as well and the commies were saying that he was unlucky to be given out!

I'm right again:asif
