West Indies have been struggling to remain in the World Cup. The team has played seven matches and has managed to win only one against Pakistan, while another match was abandoned due to rain. WI lost their previous match against New Zealand by just five runs. Unfortunately for them, they didn't manage to put up a good showing against India. The team is at the seventh position currently on the points table. Photo:Getty Images
Mohammed Shami ruined West Indies' chances of victory by demolishing the top order batsmen. He dismissed both the big hitters Chris Gayle (6) and Shai Hope (5), leaving WI teetering at 16/2 in 6.5 overs. He also took the catch that helped Kuldeep Yadav dismiss Nicholas Pooran. In the 29th over, he took the crucial wicket of Shimron Hetmyer (18). With Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Yuzvendra Chahal having run through the rest of the line up, Shami came back and took the last wicket of the day -- Oshane Thomas (6) -- thereby ending the match in 34.2 overs.
