West Indies captain Kieron Pollard urged his team to forget about their 6-wicket defeat to England as soon as possible and move on with their campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in the United Arab Emirates.

The defending champions suffered one of their biggest defeats in the shortest format after getting bowled out for their second lowest T20I score of 55 in just 14.2 overs on a slow and turning pitch in Dubai.

England needed just 50 balls to chase down the paltry target, although even they struggled to cope with the pitch conditions and lost 4 wickets in the process.

The defeat was West Indies’ first against England in T20 World Cup history and took the Three Lions to the top of Group 1 on the table.

“There’s not a lot to explain – it was an unacceptable performance, but we do need to take this on the chin and move on. These sorts of games sometimes, we just need to bin it.

“It’s a matter of finding our straps, we have to find a way to get a fighting total on the board, today was a day where we couldn’t find that balance, but we need to forget this and move on,” Pollard said after the game.

The Windies were bowled out for their second lowest T20I score and the third lowest in T20 World Cup history as they struggled against the likes of Adil Rashid (4 for 2), Moeen Ali (2 for 17) and Tymal Mills (2 for 17).

But Pollard said they don’t need to hit the panic button just yet.

“We went out, guys tried to play their shots, and it didn’t come off. I don’t think any sort of panic will come into our camp. It is what it is, we just need to take it on our chest and move on, this is international sport,” Pollard said.

SRH vs RR IPL 2021 Match 40 Playing XI Predictions: SRH are already out of contention for a playoff spot with just two points in nine matches but RR are still in with a shout. SRH vs RR IPL 2021 Match 40: Predicted Playing 11, team news. (Courtesy by BCCI)SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) are out of contention for a playoff spot while Rajasthan Royals (RR) still have a fair chance of making it. SRH have had a dismal season thus far, recording just two points in 9 matches and look already set to finish bottom of the table. It could mean that, with the pressure completely off, one could see a raft of changes in SRH as they look towards the future, or even decide to try out some of the players who are going to be involved in the T20 World Cup later this year and are yet to play a role for them. This could mean that we might see England opener Jason Roy at the top of the order. On the basis of form, it could be the struggling David Warner who makes way but at the same time, SRH might opt to bench...
