Amir openly questioned the dismissal of Shimron Hetmyer and suggested that the decision went in India’s favor at a crucial moment. He believes that the dismissal was highly controversial and feels if Hetmyer had continued for a few more overs, the West Indies could have easily pushed their total to 220 or even 230 runs and knocked India out of the T20 World Cup 2026.

They had already racked up 102 runs for 1 and were looking to post a big total on the board in their final Super 8 stage match. But drama exploded in the 11.3 over. Jasprit Bumrah delivered a short-of-length ball. The ball angled across the left-handed Hetmyer.

The crowd noise made the situation even more confusing. When the ball passed the bat, there was a big sound in the stadium. Sometimes in such loud conditions, it becomes very difficult for umpires to judge clearly.
The Final Verdict
Well, the third umpire checked UltraEdge. The screen showed a clear spike when the ball passed the bat. That spike meant there was contact between bat and ball. Because of that, the original decision stayed. The West Indies lost their review, and Hetmyer had to walk back after scoring 27 runs from just 12 balls. He walked off slowly, still shaking his head.
He looked clearly upset and disappointed. He was attacking strongly and helping the West Indies move towards a very big total. His wicket at that moment was a big turning point, and it played a big role in their five-wicket loss to India. With this heartbreaking defeat, the West Indies’ T20 World Cup 2026 journey ended with India qualifying for the semifinal.
