We lost the game in the last six overs: Pooran rues another defeat

Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and Axar Patel's half-centuries helped India defeat West Indies in another last-over thriller. The game went down to the wire, with Patel holding his nerve to seal India's two-wicket victory against the Men in Maroon to gain an unassailable lead in the series.

Pooran rues another lost chance

With the series on the line, Windies couldn't manage to defend their commanding total. Caribbean skipper, Nicholas Pooran was upset by his side's defeat and revealed that his team lost the match in the last six overs of the game. 

He said, "Definitely, last couple of overs we didn't hold our nerves. Last 6 overs, we lost the game. We felt a spinner was easier to hit. We just needed one wicket to seal the game but Axar played really well,"

Pooran also praised Shai Hope's magnificent knock of 115 not out in his 100th ODI.

"His (Hope's) 100th ODI, he was exceptional to get a hundred. We did an exceptional job with the batting group. We tried to compete really hard. We want to win really bad."
