After winning the toss, Italy skipper Harry Manenti said, \"We\u2019re going to have a bowl today. We get caught - there\u2019s a touch in the wicket early, hopefully this morning \u2014 and give ourselves the best crack to try and swing a few up front and take some early wickets. We take some confidence out of our last game against England, I think, against a really strong side.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Obviously, we play West Indies today, who are another really powerful team and have had success in this format for a long time. So we look forward to the challenge and hopefully we can step it up and really compete with them today. It\u2019s obviously a focus point ever since Scotland, to try and take wickets in that front half of the game and try and conserve as well, like we did in Nepal. So if we can do that today, hopefully it\u2019s a good step towards having a successful game and winning,\" he added<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The West Indies skipper Shai Hope said, \"Well, it\u2019s not my decision though, but yeah, we have to set it this time around. The process is still in place. It\u2019s important for us to make sure we don\u2019t change that mindset that we want to put out there. Make sure, you know, final changes, any little activity that we want to do as a team - it\u2019s really about playing the cricket we want to play going into this phase. No changes.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
