By IANS News March 02, 2026 • 00:54 AM View: 75

T20 World Cup: West Indies captain Shai Hope admitted his side fell short at key moments after their semifinal hopes were dashed by India in a virtual quarterfinal clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at Eden Gardens on Sunday, knocking them out of the race to the semi-final.

West Indies posted a competitive 195/4 after being asked to bat, but India chased down the target with five wickets in hand, powered by a match-winning, unbeaten 97 from Sanju Samson.

Reflecting on the total, Hope conceded that his side left runs behind at crucial phases of the innings.
