West Indies vs Scotland live streaming: Where to watch T20 WC 2026 match?
West Indies, champions in 2012 and 2016, are eager to mount a serious title challenge after finishing fifth in the previous edition, played on home soil
West Indies leaned on their batting depth to recover from a slow start and put up a competitive 182 for 5 against Scotland in Match 2 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Shimron Hetmyer’s blistering half-century anchored the innings after the two-time champions managed only 33 runs in the powerplay.
Scotland were left with a stiff chase of 183 to register an early upset in the tournament.
Cautious powerplay despite no early losses
After winning the toss and opting to bowl, Scotland kept things tight early. West Indies openers struggled to find momentum, reaching just 33 without loss in the first six overs. Captain Shai Hope attempted to lift the scoring rate post powerplay but was bowled by Michael Leask for 19 off 22 balls, ending a subdued opening phase.
Middle-order wobble before counterattack
Brandon King showed intent with a few crisp strokes during his 35 off 30 balls but fell while trying to accelerate, giving Oliver Davidson his breakthrough. With two wickets down and the run rate still in check, West Indies needed a spark to revive their innings.
Hetmyer-Powell stand changes momentum
That spark arrived through Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell, who turned the game around with a rapid 81-run partnership for the third wicket. The pair added a half-century in just 19 balls, putting the Scotland bowlers under immediate pressure. Hetmyer raced to his fifty off only 22 deliveries, shifting the momentum decisively.
Late blows take Windies past 180
Powell’s brisk 24 off 14 balls ended when Brad Currie struck, but Hetmyer continued to attack until he fell for a commanding 64 off 36 balls to Safyaan Sharif in the penultimate over. Sherfane Rutherford added late impetus with an unbeaten 26 off 13, though he was dismissed in the final over. West Indies closed on 182 for 5, setting Scotland a challenging target.

The coin flip of the match went in Scotland's way, who opted to bowl first. Captain's take after toss:
Shai Hope (WI): Haven't won a toss in a while. Probably would've bowled as well. Every time we cross the line, we have to think we will win. Slightly delayed but he's in and raring to go. Whenever you represent the region, it's always a great feeling.
Richie Berrington (SCO): We will bowl first. There's a real positive feeling around the group. We have got a fantastic week to prep ever since we came here to Bangalore. We had some really good performances in the last World Cup. We have got some young players coming into this side as well. Really good memories from that day in Hobart.
