In the match, West lost 6 wickets in 20 overs and scored a huge score of 254 runs. Shimron Hetmyer played a great innings for the team. Who scored 85 runs off just 34 balls. His stormy batting mainly helps the team to build big scores and creates pressure on the opposition from the start.

In response, Zimbabwe went into bat and were all out for 147 runs. As a result, the Caribbean won by 107 runs. Kumble praised the left-arm spinners in particular, saying Gudakesh Moti and Akil Hossain bowled intelligently avoiding the batsmen’s hitting spots, which is very effective in this format.

He also said that the way Hetmyer kept the singles going and played big shots whenever he got a chance was excellent. He also said Rovman Powell’s innings of 59 runs off 35 balls is also important. According to Kumble, Powell was slow to start but became difficult to stop once he got set.

On India’s situation, Kumble said, every match is very important now after the loss to South Africa. According to him, not only the defeat, but the manner of defeat is a major concern. Now it remains to be seen whether India can make a strong comeback against Zimbabwe.

He feels that India will have to win by a big margin to stay in contention for the semi-finals. According to him, just as West Indies beat Zimbabwe by a big margin, India also needs a win to increase the net run rate. Then West Indies also have to lose. As the tournament progresses, every run and wicket could become crucial in deciding India’s fate.
