Earlier, Lendl Simmons, who top scored with a brilliant 82 to steer West Indies to the final of the ICC World T20, said the two no balls bowled by the Indian bowlers swung the game in the favour of his team. “I obviously think it (the two no balls) swing in our way…it could have been different ball game had I been out and a new batter (batsman) would have been in and you never know what could have happened,” Simmons said after West Indies beat India in the semifinals of World T20.

Simmons survived two chances. While Ravichandran Ashwin’s no-ball gave man-of-the-match Simmons ‘life’ at 18 when Jasprit Bumrah had taken the catch and then Pandya overstepped when the right-hander was on 50. Heaping praise on Johnson Charles (52), Simmons said the opener took the pressure off him. “He (Johnson Charles) took a lot of pressure off myself. Getting those boundaries, he read the conditions well, he batted perfectly in the situation,” he said.
