The Super 8 match between India and West Indies in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is set to be a thrilling battle at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday March 1.
For both teams this is not just another game. It is almost like a quarter-final, because the winner will move one step closer to the semi-finals.
India’s journey in this tournament of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has been full of ups and downs. They played brilliantly in the group stage and dominated their opponents. But in the Super 8 stage things have not been so smooth.
They suffered a big 76 run loss to South Africa which hurt their confidence. However, they quickly recovered and delivered a strong performance against Zimbabwe winning by 72 runs and scoring their highest ever T20 World Cup total 256/4.
India are currently second in Super 8 Group 1. They have the same number of points as the West Indies but their net run rate is slightly lower. That makes Sunday’s match a must win if they want to stay in the race for the semi-finals.
