He said the team was peaking at the right time and wanted to continue to do well in the remaining matches ahead of the semifinals.“We have qualified for the semifinals. We want to try and give our best in the remaining matches. Hopefully we will continue to play well as a team,” the West Indian said.“We have worked really hard. We don’t want to play so well and not get to the final. It’s about the right time (in peaking). We won five games in a row, lost two and now we have come back,” Pollard said.
