  "account": "Shai Hope delivered a stellar innings, scoring an unbeaten 162 off 143 balls to help West Indies chase down their highest-ever ODI target against India. The batsman surpassed the century mark in the final 39 deliveries, guiding his team to a 352-5 finish in 48.2 overs. Hope, who took over as opener following an injury to Jewel Andrew, credited a conversation with former India captain MS Dhoni for shaping his approach during the chase. Dhoni advised Hope to have more time than he thought and to focus on the process rather than the outcome. Hope emphasized he tried not to dwell on the end result and broke down the game to find opportunities for boundaries. He further explained that he had noticed India's slow over rate and anticipated additional fielders would be needed in the final overs. Despite experiencing discomfort in his groin around the 30th over, Hope persisted through the innings, ultimately scoring 62 runs off his last 39 balls to clinch victory for West Indies and end their series losing streak.",
  "summary": "Shai Hope played a pivotal role in West Indies' remarkable success against India by scoring an unbeaten 162. His innings helped the team chase down a daunting target of 352 runs with ten balls to spare. After India's innings, bolstered by KL Rahul’s 129, Hope drew inspiration from MS Dhoni to pace his batting.",
