West Indies began their campaign on a horrific note after the team lost to Ireland in their

opener which was the first big upset of World Cup 2015. 
 Blackstorm quickly recovered from this wound and accomplished against Pakistan and
Zimbabwe respectively. 
In their second match Against Pakistan, Blackstorm has stunned everyone with their
performance. Pakistan lost 4 wickets for just 1 run on the board while chasing 310. While
Chris Gayle became a 1st man to hit Double Ton in World Cup History against Zimbabwe.
But their wins were neutralised by South Africa as they have lost to them with the heavy
margin of 257 runs. Their world cup life cycle continuously declined as they have lost their
next match to defending champions India. 
The equation West Indies for finishing at the top 8 was on the hands of Ireland as they have
to now rely on Ireland losing both their final pool matches.
After If and Buts Westindies finished on the 4th spot with 3 victories and 3 defeats. They
have to face Kiwis in their first knock out match for reaching the semifinal since 1996.
Newzeland won QF with a margin of 143 runs because of Martin Guptill, who scored a
mammoth 237*, smashed the highest ever score in World Cup history, to take his side s total
to a massive 393 for 8.
