Shai Hope Reflects on West Indies' Loss to India in First T20I
West Indies captain Shai Hope reflected on his team's eight-wicket loss to India in the first T20 International in Lucknow, citing a middle-over collapse and failure to adapt to conditions as key factors. After a promising start, West Indies lost momentum following Hope's dismissal, allowing India to chase down 172 runs in 14.4 overs, led by Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 102. Hope emphasized the need for smarter game management and learning from experience in Indian conditions ahead of the next match in Ranchi.
