ICC T20 World Cup 2016: 5 reasons why India lost to West Indies in the semi-final

Lendl Simmons got three lives

Even Simmons himself admitted after the match that he was very lucky

For a man who has just flown in and played his first game of the tournament, Lendl Simmons played a superlative knock to take the Windies to the final. As a Mumbai Indians player, he knew the pitch well which also helped his cause.

But he got three let-offs which proved to be costly. He had slashed Ashwin and was caught brilliantly by Bumrah early on in his innings. But that turned out to be a no ball. Almost incredibly, Pandya was guilty of the same offense when he dismissed him later.

Simmons got a third chance when he was caught by a juggling effort by Jadeja and Kohli on the boundary line. But Jadeja's foot had touched the rope while completing the catch and it was declared to be a six. Even Simmons himself admitted after the match that he was very lucky.
