West Indies showcased their strength with a remarkable 107-run victory over Zimbabwe in the Super 8 stage match in Mumbai. Despite concerns over opener Brandon King’s poor form, Shimron Hetmyer’s explosive 85 off 34 balls led West Indies to a massive total of 254/6, the highest in T20 World Cup 2026 history.
Hetmyer’s aggressive batting, including seven sixes and seven fours, propelled West Indies to a commanding win as they bowled out Zimbabwe for 147. Skipper Shai Hope highlighted Hetmyer and Rovman Powell’s crucial partnership, emphasizing their significant contributions to the team’s success.
Hope praised the spin-friendly pitch and Gudakesh Motie’s impressive 4-28 spell, acknowledging the bowler’s effective use of time away from the game. West Indies will face South Africa next, with both teams aiming to secure a spot in the semifinals on February 26.
