NEW DELHI, Feb 26 (AFP): Fallen giants West Indies must overcome the shattering loss of key all-rounder Dwayne Bravo when they tackle the Netherlands in a crucial World Cup clash Monday. Bravo, a veteran of 110 internationals, suffered a left knee injury while bowling in the opening clash against South Africa xzThursday which the West Indies went on to lose by seven wickets at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground. He will miss the rest of the tournament and the West Indies will summon a replacement player. Bravo's injury could not have come at a worse time for a team which is already showing signs of disintegrating barely a few days into the tournament. West Indies were largely expected to lose to the stronger South Africa but it was the manner of their defeat that rankled their fans the most.
