The Caribbean team was shown the way out of the tournament by defeating England by 6 wickets. After England's exit, the team's head coach John Lewis is completely distraught.

The English coach said that only the Indian team was given permission to train on the Sharjah ground, while other teams practiced on the ICC Academy ground.

English coach made allegations

After England's exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, John Lewis said, “Nobody was allowed to train at the Dubai International Stadium. We all practiced at the ICC Academy ground. I don't know whether the Indian team trained in Sharjah or not. I don't know Team India does whatever it likes. Is it not so? Is this how it works?”

After England crashed out of the T20 World Cup, head coach Jon Lewis lamented the lack of training chances at playing venues.

It was later clarified that all teams had been given the option of training in Sharjah, but only India and Scotland asked.

However, an ICC official while talking to 'ESPN Cricinfo' said that this ground was used not only by the Indian team but also by Scotland. He said that on that day, permission to use the Sharjah ground was given to every team, not just Team India.

West Indies broke England's dream

West Indies showed their way out of the tournament by defeating England by 6 wickets in an important match. Batting first, the English team scored 141 runs losing 7 wickets on the score board. On behalf of the team, Nate Sciver Brunt batted brilliantly and played a strong inning of 57 runs in 50 balls. However, apart from him, no other batsman of the team could stand against the Caribbean bowlers.

West Indies cheerfully achieved the target of 142 runs in just 18 overs. On behalf of the team, captain Haley Mathews batted brilliantly and scored 50 runs in 38 balls. At the same time, Kiyan Joseph, playing in a explosive style, scored 50 runs in 38 balls. With this victory, West Indies also got the ticket for the semi-finals. The Caribbean team has been successful in reaching the last four for the first time since 2018.
