West Indies cricket team faced a major setback in their quest for the upcoming 2023 50-over World Cup in India. The team, known for their past successes as two-time champions, had their hopes dashed as they were knocked out of contention. This unexpected outcome occurred when Scotland achieved a remarkable seven-wicket victory over the West Indies in a Super Six match during the qualifying stage.
This moment is significant in the history of the tournament, as it marks the first time in 48 years that the West Indies, who were champions in 1975 and 1979, will not be among the top 10 teams in limited-overs cricket.
