Marlon Samuels was once an integral part of the Windies lineup. He played a starring role in both their World T20 triumphs. Coming into this series, West Indies expected Samuels to hold the fragile middle-order together.

He scored a total of 61 runs in this series at an average of 15. His strike rate of 49 is the lowest for any player who faced at least 100 balls. It created a lot of pressure on the lower order batsmen, with the long Windies tail not helping the cause either. Considering his form, he might have to make way for Chadwick Walton in the future.
