Cricket News : Fingers crossed' - India's Ashwin still hopeful of T20 World Cup semi-final spot

India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said on Thursday that his excitement of being selected for the India's T20 World Cup squad was tempered by the team's disappointing start to the tournament. "It's never a special feeling when you lose games" the off-spinner said after India opened with a pair of losses. But after thrashing Afghanistan, Ashwin said he remains hopeful the team can win out and sneak into the semi-finals with matches against Scotland on Friday followed by Namibia on Monday remaining.
