As the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finalists are almost decided, the final spot hinges on the outcome of the India vs. West Indies match in the Super Eights on Sunday. India’s recent win against Zimbabwe sets up a crucial game where a victory will secure their spot in the semi-finals, while a loss will eliminate them from the tournament. If India qualifies, they are likely to face England in the semifinal.
The match will take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, a venue where both teams have had success in the past. India boasts an impressive record at the ground, remaining undefeated since 2016. In contrast, the West Indies clinched their second T20 World Cup title at Eden Gardens in 2016 by defeating England.
India has a strong history at Eden Gardens, having lost only one T20I match at the venue since 2011. The team’s dominance against the West Indies at this iconic ground is evident, with India winning all four T20I encounters between the two sides at Eden Gardens. Overall, India holds the upper hand in T20Is against the West Indies, with 19 wins out of 30 matches played.
The squads for the upcoming match include key players like Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan for India, and Brandon King and Shai Hope for the West Indies. The clash between these two cricketing giants promises an exciting showdown to determine the last semi-finalist in the T20 World Cup 2026.
