West Indies’s two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain Daren Sammy is known for his ever-smiling and positive attitude. Adding to his joy will be the fact that the Shai Hope-led WI have won all four of their Group C matches, including two at Wankhede, against England and Nepal.
However, despite their Wankhede success and the fact that their Super Eights match on Monday is against Group B leaders Zimbabwe, who have played all their matches in Colombo, Sammy, 42, insisted that the Mumbai venue holds no advantage to the Windies.
