Sunday’s India vs West Indies Super 8 match in T20 World Cup 2026 could define both teams’ tournaments. At Eden Gardens, a win seals semifinal destiny. Rain, however, introduces a cruel twist.
With no reserve day allocated, any abandonment falls to net run rates. West Indies’ +1.791 crushes India’s -0.100, potentially eliminating the hosts without a ball bowled.
India rediscovered rhythm post a South Africa loss, demolishing Zimbabwe by 72 runs. Their 256/4 – T20 World Cup’s highest – featured Abhishek Sharma’s 55, Hardik Pandya’s 50* off 23, and Tilak Varma’s 44 off 16. Bowling brilliance from Arshdeep Singh (3/24), Varun Chakaravarti, and Axar Patel restricted Zimbabwe to 184/6, despite Brian Bennett’s 97.
West Indies seeks revival after South Africa’s 9-wicket rout. Weather gods favor play: slim rain odds, 34°C days, 25-26°C evenings.
