The Super 8 action of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will continue today with West Indies taking on Zimbabwe in the second Group 1 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams are coming into the Super 8 undefeated and will aim to carry the momentum forward to take one step closer towards semifinal qualification.

West Indies team news

West Indies head into the Super 8 clash brimming with confidence after four straight wins, showcasing the aggressive brand of cricket that has long defined their T20 success. Captain Shai Hope has led from the front with consistent runs, while Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford have added firepower in the middle order.
 
 
All-rounders Jason Holder, Roston Chase, and Romario Shepherd provide balance with both bat and ball, giving Daren Sammy’s side multiple options. Their power-hitting ability, highlighted by a tournament-high six count, could be decisive at the Wankhede Stadium, where shorter boundaries and flat conditions suit their attacking approach perfectly.

Zimbabwe team news

Zimbabwe arrive unbeaten and full of belief after impressive wins over Australia and Sri Lanka, proving they belong among the tournament’s elite. Brian Bennett has been their standout batter, anchoring innings with maturity despite not relying heavily on big hitting. Skipper Sikandar Raza continues to lead a well-rounded unit that thrives on discipline and teamwork rather than brute force.
 
The pace duo of Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans has spearheaded the bowling attack with regular wickets, especially on challenging Sri Lankan pitches earlier in the tournament. Moving to Wankhede’s batting-friendly conditions will test Zimbabwe’s adaptability against a powerful West Indies line-up.
