India vs West Indies Live Cricket Scores World T20 Semifinal: West Indies beat India to enter FINAL

Lendl Simmons is the Man of the Match

Dew and indiscipline have cost India this match. Three chances to Lendl Simmons was the biggest reason of this defeat. Simmons scored unbeaten 82 and he was well supported by Johnson Charles 52 and Andre Russell 43 not out. Indian spinners could live up to the expectations today, probably due to dew. It is a big heartbreak for Indian fans. Across seven seas, West Indies fans must be jubilant.
