Just keep winning: West Indies stay on target for semi-finals

That next fixture with Sri Lanka in Bristol on Sunday looms as one of the most crucial contests for many of the sides chasing a semi-final berth from Group B, though Henry is taking nothing for granted as the West Indies target a second consecutive appearance in the knockout phase of the tournament following their entry into the final four in the UAE two years ago. "This table is completely blown open, wide open," Henry said after the West Indies' win over Scotland. "It's just about trying to win all of our games and not leaving anything to chance. "We saw how Scotland came at us tonight, like, pretty hard, so it's just about trying to take each game one at a time and trying to play our best cricket every time we step out on the park. "If we can do that and if we can win all our remaining games, then we're in a better position to qualify instead of relying on other stuff."
