In today’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the West Indies produced a strong batting performance to post 195 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in their 20 overs while playing first against India.
West Indies’ batting was powered by key contributions from the top and middle order. Roston Chase scored the highest for his team with 40 runs, while other batters also scored useful runs to help build a competitive total on a good batting surface.
The Windies aimed to keep the scoreboard ticking through steady partnerships and well‑timed boundaries.
India’s bowlers managed to take a few early wickets but were unable to restrict the West Indies batsmen from scoring freely in the middle and late overs.
Fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah picked up some wickets, and spinners bowled tight spells, but the Caribbean side still managed to consistently score at a good rate.
Now it is India’s turn to bat, and they face a challenging run chase against a confident West Indies bowling attack. The hosts will rely on their experienced batters to chase down the target and secure a place in the semi‑finals.
Earlier in the tournament, India posted big totals and showed strong batting form, including a high‑scoring match against Zimbabwe.
This match is one of the crucial knock‑out‑style games in the Super Eights, the result could decide who advances to the next stage of the World Cup.
