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

The dew factor

It was a great toss to win for Sammy

Dew was always going to play a crucial role and considering the firepower that both the teams possessed while chasing, the toss became very crucial. It was a great toss to win for Sammy and he knew they would be much better off chasing.

The dew came in while the West Indies were batting and it became considerably difficult for the spinners to grip the ball. As the spinners started to struggle, the Windies instantly became dominant during the middle overs.

Even the medium-pacers had a tough time keeping the ball dry every time it went out on the wet outfield. The dew also made the outfield fast and the balls kept speeding away to the boundary. In the end, it was a bad toss to lose for MS Dhoni.
