DHARAMSALA, India, CMC- All-rounder Deandra Dottin says she is not worried by her poor form with the bat thus far and is confident she can deliver big scores for West Indies in crucial remaining Group matches of the ICC T20 Women’s World Cup in India.
The aggressive batter and fast medium bowler has played critical roles for West Indies who are unbeaten after two matches in the tournament.
Dottin scored 24 and picked up two wickets in their victory against Bangladesh but went without scoring while grabbing one for seven in Windies’ triumph over Pakistan.
“I feel pretty good not minding I have not had a big score as yet,” declared Dottin in a WICB media interview yesterday.
“But I still have the confidence and still have other games to play.”
The Caribbean side is preparing to take on England Women in a top-of-the-table clash in Group B tomorrow at the HPCA Stadium.
On Sunday they come up against the host at Mohali.
“They are two very important games. Me as an all-rounder if I don’t perform in one area I can actually perform in the other,” said Dottin.
“I think everybody is really looking forward to the match. I think the girls are looking forward to the game.”
The Windies Women are now perched at the top of the Group “B” standings with a maximum four points, the same as the English.
They boast a healthier net run-rate of +1.325, following victories in their first two matches against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Dottin said confidence has grown in the Windies camp since their two-one lost to South Africa in a T20 series before the World Cup
“We have been more confident than earlier having come of a series in South Africa and knowing that we have our goal set for the World Cup,” she said.
