T20 WC: West Indies Flip India's Chances, Semifinal Hopes Take Hit | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

Group 1 of the T20 World Cup has suddenly turned into a pressure chamber for India. The West Indies’ dominant win over Zimbabwe has shaken up the semifinal equation with a massive Net Run Rate boost. After entering the tournament with back-to-back T20 series losses against Afghanistan and South Africa, the West Indies have stunningly flipped the script. Shimron Hetmyer’s fearless approach and Daren Sammy’s belief-driven mindset have become the talking points and perhaps the blueprint India now desperately needs. With South Africa also in the mix and NRR becoming a decisive factor, India’s path to the semis is uncertain. Can they silence the noise, shed the pressure of expectations, and respond like true contenders? Rupha Ramani with more.

Also on the show, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is facing a crisis. All three hosts are battling different issues. Mexico is facing security concerns after a drug cartel boss was killed. America, on the other hand, is experiencing political frictions with Canada. Trump posted an AI video mocking Canada. When will FIFA address the issues? And the relevance of the Olympics is questioned again. Despite the 2026 Winter Games producing a spectacle, fans are worried about sustainability and financial viability. Is the future of the games under threat, or are they the only uniting factor in present times?
