    SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 2016 SPORTS Explosive Windies face fearless England in finale KOLKATA: West Indies’ rag-tag army of short- format mercenaries will be hoping they have the weapons to overcome a fearless England in today’s World Twenty20 final as both sides target the honour of being the first to claim a second title in the tournament. For a group of players who nearly boycotted the event over a contractual dispute with their board, Darren Sammy and his troops have waltzed into the Kolkata final displaying all the Caribbean flair that has earned them global admiration. If Twenty20 cricket is essentially about power-hitting, no team does it better and more unabashedly than the West Indies. England have first-hand knowledge of that destructive potency, having been blown away by Chris Gayle’s 47-ball century in a Super 10 shellacking in Mumbai a fortnight ago. Revenge may be regarded as a dish best served cold but Eoin Morgan’s men would probably like nothing more than to exact it in the heat of a World Cup final. A task easier said than done against a West Indies outfit packed with swashbuckling players who ply their trade in lucrative Twenty20 KOLKATA: England’s cricket captain Eoin Morgan (C) with others play a game of foot- leagues around the globe.

    MEDIA INFORMATION The ICC would like to thank our Commercial Partners for their support of the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 WELCOME ICC PRESIDENT It is my pleasure to welcome all members of the media to Bangladesh for the ICC World Twenty20 2014. This is the fifth edition of the tournament, and the fourth time that the men’s and women’s competitions will be played alongside each other, with the women’s semi-finals and final held on the same day and at the same venue as the men’s. Staged between 16 March and 6 April, we will see 62 tournament matches (35 men’s and 27 women’s), involving 26 teams, played across Chittagong, Dhaka and Sylhet. The format of the men’s event has been changed following an increase in teams from 12 to 16, six of which qualified through a global pathway that culminated in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier UAE 2013. This year’s format will see Zimbabwe and Bangladesh participate in the first round of the tournament alongside the six qualifiers, from 16 to 21 March. The top two teams from the first round will join the remaining eight Full Member teams in the Super Ten stage, followed by the semi-finals and final. The ICC Women’s World Twenty20 2014 has been increased from eight to 10 teams, with three teams advancing from the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier Ireland 2013, and Bangladesh, as host, making its debut at the event. The first round matches of the women’s event will take place in Sylhet from 23 March to 2 April, with the semi-finals and final played in Dhaka from 3 to 6 April.
