The West Indies suffered a devastating heartbreak on Friday as they crashed out of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Hobart. Nicholas Pooran & Co. received a nine-wicket thrashing in Round 1 of the Hobart game on Friday. The West Indies exited the competition immediately, while the Andrew Balbirnie-led Irishmen advanced to the Super12. The Windies opted to bat in desperation against a disciplined Irish bowling attack, resulting in their defeat.
Gareth Delany returned the best figures of 3/16, allowing his team to secure a deficit of 146/5. Paul Stirling hit a sensational 66 not out, enabling his team to advance to the Super 12 stage of the competition. He hammered six fours and two sixes in his 48-ball smash, making a mockery of the chase. The online media is bashing out as the world cannot believe what just happened.
