On Sunday, March 1, India chased down 196 against West Indies with four balls to spare at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This victory marked India's highest successful chase in T20 World Cup history and the biggest T20I run chase ever at the iconic Kolkata ground.
Amir had previously predicted that India would not make it to the top four, stating "Pakistan will qualify. Dekho, Pakistan kare na kare, India naaaa (It doesn't matter if Pakistan qualifies or not, India will not)" on a TV show. Fans quickly took to social media to call out Amir for his early prediction. Led by Sanju Samson's calm innings and Tilak Varma's quick 27 off 15 balls, India bounced back strongly after their Super 8s opener against South Africa.
