IND vs WI Live Score Today T20 World Cup 2026 Live Match Updates: West Indies posted a formidable 195/4 in their 20 overs at Eden Gardens, leaving India a target of 196 to reach the semi-finals. Openers Shai Hope (32) and Roston Chase (40) provided a solid 68-run platform, before Jasprit Bumrah briefly checked the momentum with a double-strike in the 12th over to remove Chase and Shimron Hetmyer.However, India’s fielding proved costly as Abhishek Sharma dropped two crucial catches.

Captain Rovman Powell (34*) and Jason Holder (37*) capitalized on the reprieves, plundering 70 runs in the final five overs. Despite Arshdeep Singh conceding just six in the 19th, Bumrah’s final over went for 14, ensuring the Windies finished with their highest-ever T20 World Cup total against India.

India won the toss and chose to field first at Eden Gardens in the T20 World Cup Super 8 Clash in Kolkata on March 1. Captain Suryakumar Yadav felt the pitch would improve for chasing, especially with dew expected later in the evening, and confirmed that India would stick with an unchanged XI. For the West Indies, skipper Shai Hope said they would have preferred to bowl as well but stressed the importance of peaking at the right time in a high-pressure World Cup clash. He added that their IPL experience in India should help in familiar conditions. The visitors made one change, bringing back Akeal Hosein, while Brandon King missed out.

India enter this do-or-die fixture with renewed confidence following a dominant 72-run victory over Zimbabwe, where they posted a massive 256 runs. Opener Abhishek Sharma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were instrumental in that win, and the team will rely heavily on their aggressive “fearless” brand of cricket. The bowling unit, led by Jasprit Bumrah and the spin duo of Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy, will be crucial in containing a dangerous West Indies middle order.

The West Indies, however, remain a formidable threat with power hitters like Shimron Hetmyer and captain Shai Hope. Historically, while India lead in overall T20Is, the Caribbean side hold a 3-1 advantage in T20 World Cup meetings. Weather conditions in Kolkata are expected to be clear and sunny, though a washout would favor the West Indies due to their superior Net Run Rate. With a semi-final spot against England on the line, fans can expect a high-octane battle.
