Legendary West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards has backed the Jason Holder-led squad, stating that the team has the capability to beat title 'favourites' New Zealand in their crunch quarterfinal tie on Saturday in Wellington.
In a column for the ICC, Richards said that one could come to the quarterfinals with a 100 percent win record but one bad day is enough to knock that team out of the tournament.
Richards observed that the West Indies have nothing to fear, insisting that irrespective of their form, they shouldn't be in awe of New Zealand's record in the group stage, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Richards, who won two World Cups, further said that West Indies have it in them to upset the co-hosts, admitting that they have the batting personnel to do it on any given day and their bowling has improved dramatically over the course of last two-three matches.
