"The first game was not how we wanted to start it off. But at the same time, Afghanistan is a serious T20I side and had a great game. Not our best performance but looking to bounce back against West Indies," Lockie said in the pre-match press conference.

Ferguson said that the team has a lot of experience and while the game did not go as per expectations against Afghanistan, things change quickly in T20 cricket.

"Different pitch and venue. We will have to start again. West Indies has been playing some great cricket. But we are not carrying a lot of demons from the previous game. Doing our homework is important," he added.

Ferguson has a pretty decent record against West Indies. In five matches, the pacer has bagged eight wickets with his best bowling figures of five wickets for 21 runs.

"It was in New Zealand (the five-wicket haul), but I would enjoy taking on the Windies. They have got some big strikers, playing them at their home will be a huge challenge," he added.

On the wicket in Guyana, Ferguson said that based on his interaction with some West Indies players, the wicket is sometimes high-scoring or "scrappy" where scores of 140-150 runs are good.
