Hope: We won’t ease up against Italy

MUMBAI, India (CMC): Even with the West Indies having punched their tickets to the next phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, skipper Shai Hope is adamant that there will be no letdown in focus when they take on Italy in their final preliminary match on Thursday. The West Indies produced a fine all-around effort to trounce Nepal by nine wickets at the Wankhede Stadium yesterday to qualify for the Super Eights. But even with qualification already assured, Hope said the Windies would not be taking their eyes off the prize when they face Italy.
