‘WI now stands for Waste Indies’: West Indies fails to qualify for World Cup’s main stage, memes storm internet
Ireland sprang the biggest upset of the T20 World Cup, eliminating two-time champions West Indies with a stunning nine-wicket win that also sealed their Super 12 berth on Friday.
West Indies, who are the most successful side of the T20 World Cup having won the titles in 2012 and 2016, cut a sorry figure, crashing out of the group stage with just one win from three matches.
The Nicholas Pooran-led side who were without the likes of Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell lacked depth and looked out of sorts, suffering a 42-run defeat against Scotland.
Fans upset with WI exit, flooded social media with memes bashing Pooran’s batting and captaincy.
What a stellar performence by Ireland.Meanwhile West Indies and Nicholas Pooran fans situation be like😅#WIvIRE… https://t.co/LegwyCs3RH
