Narendra Modi Stadium gears up for Super 8 fireworks in T20 World Cup 2026 as West Indies take on South Africa Thursday. Both squads eye semifinal seals after beating India (SA) and Zimbabwe (WI).
Enter Shimron Hetmyer, the West Indies powerhouse whose bat could make history. His tournament heroics have been match-defining, blending flair and ferocity.
Zimbabwe felt his wrath: 85 off 34 balls, seven sixes, seven boundaries. Seventeen sixes in five outings put him level for the single-edition record—one more clears it against South Africa.
Matching Pooran (2024), ahead of Gayle and Gurbaz (both 16). Hetmyer’s numbers scream dominance: 219 runs, 54.75 average, 185.59 SR, two 50s. He’s T20’s traveling storm, acing every league.
For West Indies, 1,564 T20I runs in 70 innings, nine halves, 97 sixes. Three maximums here? Fifth Windies player to 100 T20I sixes.
The duel intensifies: Proteas’ attack versus Hetmyer’s might. A record-smashing knock could swing momentum, propelling West Indies deeper. Excitement peaks as one swing might redefine legacies.
