Captain Darren Sammy said the loss would not derail West Indies’ campaign for the World T20 title, describing the loss as a “banana skid” on the road to the finals.

“Obviously we are disappointed but we are not going to let this dampen our spirits, we played well, we just need to find a way to chase down those small totals,” he said.

“We have two more steps to take, and we just had a slight banana skid in the race, and we just have to regroup and come back again.”

The Windies will play India in Thursday’s semi-final.
