Steven Finn has labelled West Indies "dangerous opponents" ahead of Thursday's ICC World Twenty20 Super Eights fixture

England pace bowler Steven Finn has set his sights on hitting West Indies hard when the two sides meet in Thursday's ICC World Twenty20 Super Eights fixture.

Setbacks

Finn picked up a wicket in the opening over of each of England's Group A fixtures - Afghanistan's Mohammad Shahzad and India's Irfan Pathan. And the Middlesex man acknowledges that it is hard for the batting team to recover from early setbacks. "We know that wickets peg you back in Twenty20 cricket," said Finn. "We experienced that the other night when the constant flow of wickets really did peg us back. "It's my job up front, sometimes bowling at the most dangerous batsmen, to get them out early on. "I relish that opportunity. It's great that Broady entrusts me with that new ball to go out there and try and do it - and it's something I really enjoy." With associate nations Afghanistan and Ireland eliminated from the tournament, England know they will have to play well to pick up the minimum two wins out of three required to reach the semi-finals. The heavy defeat to India in their last outing was only England's fourth defeat in their last 13 Twenty20 internationals and Finn believes that crushing Colombo loss has already been "brushed under the carpet". He added: "We know we've come back in the face of adversity before - we've played some of our best cricket after having poor performances - so it's really exciting moving to Pallekele now to get these next three games under way. "We don't have to do anything different than we've done. We've had one one bad game - we know that - but we move on from it. "We brush it under the carpet; we learn from our mistakes, and we get better from it. "I think it was a bad day at the office. We played very good cricket in the warm-up games and very good cricket against Afghanistan."
