Another maximum! Rovman Powell is rapidly racing towards his half-century now. He clobbers one over long-off, his third 6. The 100-run partnership comes up in just 50 balls. It is the joint-quickest 100-run stand in the T20 World Cup 2026.

And a top edge goes for 4! And then a boundary over short fine-leg! Powell up to 49.

WI 169/2 (14)

Rovman Powell joins the party! A boundary and then a humongous 6onto the second tier! 150 up for West Indies in just 13 overs. Powell is into the 30s now. West Indies will be aiming for 220-230 from here, minimum!

WI 150/2 (13)

Shimron Hetmyer dropped! For once, he doesn't get perfect timing on a big shot, but Tashinga Musekiwa fumbles it! Second dropped catch, second lifeline for Hetmyer today. Huge moment, and this could badly affect Zimbabwe.

WI 123/2 (11.2)

Hetmyer continues the onslaught! Another boundary, another wonderfully-executed square cut for 4. Hetmyer has raced to 69 runs off just 25 balls. West Indies are going at a run-rate of 11.5!

WI 115/2 (10)

No signs of stopping! Shimron Hetmyer deposits another maximum over deep mid-wicket. He then slams a cracking square-cut for 4. 100 up for West Indies in just 9.1 overs. How the momentum has swung!

WI 109/2 (9.2)

Shimron Hetmyer has registered the fastest half-century by a West Indian in T20 World Cups. 19 balls to get to the fifty today. He is single-handedly turning the game around. It is also the joint-fastest fifty of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026.

Shimron Hetmyer goes very big! Half-century off 19 balls!He is taking spin-bowling to the cleaners right after the powerplay. Two massive hits over deep mid-wicket against Graeme Cremer in the 7th over. He then continues the onslaught as Sikandar Raza, and hammers him through the same area for three more sixes in the space of four balls!

He is on 53 off 20! 5 sixes in 6 balls!

WI 92/2 (8)

End of the powerplay, and it is one that has set up a highly-intriguing encounter. Zimbabwe pacers began very well, and Brandon King departed in the third over. Hetmyer and Hope then hit a flurry of boundaries, but the latter got out in the final over of the powerplay. 

WI 55/2 (6)

How the tables turn! Shai Hope begins the over with a cracking shot for 4 through the covers, but perishes two balls later! Hope goes for a big shot towards deep mid-wicket, but doesn't get the timing. Even then, Brian Bennett has to make a lot of ground, and he does! Puts in a terrific dive and completes the catch. The West Indies captain has to walk back. A wicket for Brad Evans in his first over.

WI 54/2 (5.5)

Shimron Hetmyer on the charge! Three boundaries in a row for the West Indies No. 3. First one is too short and helped away through fine-leg, the next one too wide and guided away through third-man. But the third one is the best of the lot. Short, and pulled away firmly on the front foot for 4. Pressure on Ngarava, who has been handed a third straight over.

And the over ends with another boundary. Punched through the covers, this time by Shai Hope! 17 off the over.

WI 46/1 (5)

Shimron Hetmyer gets up and running with a boundary. The left-hander has had to play a couple of crucial knocks so far in the tournament, and he flicks it over mid-wicket to pick up 4 and get off the mark.

WI 22/1 (3)

GONE! Brandon King started the over well, getting a boundary through fine-leg and then hammering a 6 over deep mid-wicket. But Ngarava comes back well, forces a dot, and then King's next big shot finds the fielder at wide deep fine-leg. First wicket for Zimbabwe! Their good start continues.

ZIM 17/1 (2.4)

Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani have made an excellent start with the ball. No boundaries in the first two overs for Brandon King or Shai Hope. WI openers finding it difficult to time the top-class Zimbabwe pacers.

WI 7/0 (2)

We are LIVE! Richard Ngarava opens the bowling for Zimbabwe. Brandon King and Shai Hope opening the batting for the Windies. King nudges it to cover and gets off the mark first ball.

WI 1/0 (0.1)

Perhaps West Indies' biggest weakness so far in the tournament has been their opening pair. While Shai Hope has managed to slam two half-centuries, Brandon King has made only 62 runs at a strike-rate of 110. King and Hope registered the lowest powerplay score of the tournament in their first game, putting up 33/0 in 6 overs against Scotland.

West Indies XI vs Zimbabwe: Brandon King, Shai Hope (c/wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph.

Zimbabwe XI vs West Indies: Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Brad Evans, Graeme Cremer, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani.

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza wins the toss and opts to bowl! One change as well for Zimbabwe, and a crucial one, as Richard Ngarava does come back, replacing Wellington Masakadza. 

West Indies, who will have to bat first, bring back Romario Shepherd into the XI. Roston Chase misses out.

A crucial thing to watch out for would be whether Zimbabwe are able to adjust to the Indian conditions. They played all of their group games in Sri Lanka, where the tacky and slow-ish nature of surfaces aided them. Whether they'll be able to keep up the momentum on flatter Indian decks will be intriguing to see.

We are just over 10 minutes away from toss time at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. A fast track usually favoured by pacers, it will be interesting to see what the toss-winning captain elects to do.

It will be interesting to see whether Zimbabwe pacer Richard Ngarava makes it back for today's big match. Ngarava took 3 wickets in the first match of the T20 World Cup, but has been out of action since due to injury.

West Indies' unbeaten run has been characterised by key performances from several individuals. Skipper Shai Hope has slammed two fifties, while Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford have played one game-changing knock each. Romario Shepherd took a fifer, Jason Holder got 4 in a match, and Gudakesh Motie has been Mr. Consistent!

Zimbabwe's fairytale run has been defined by the standout performances of a few stars. Opener Brian Bennett is yet to get dismissed in the tournament, slamming 175 runs in 3 matches. Pace duo Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans have shone in every game, taking 9 and 8 wickets respectively. And the evergreen Sikandar Raza continues to chip in, be it with ball or bat.

Played 4, Won 4. That is the record for West Indies heading into the Super 8. Shai Hope's side topped Group C, and their performance was headlined by a statement win over England at today's venue, the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Caribbean juggernaut has steadily fired on all cylinders so far, and have emerged as a surprising candidate to go all the way.

Zimbabwe's journey to the Super 8 has been the fairytale story of the ongoing T20 World Cup. Sikandar Raza's boys not only shocked Australia, but also stunned Sri Lanka at their own den to top Group B and enter the Super 8 unbeaten. Their giant-killing streak has come at the expense of Australia, who returned home after the group stages.

India's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup will be impacted by today's result. Irrespective of who wins today, India must beat the winner of the Zimbabwe vs West Indies match to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

A very warm welcome to one and all to the live coverage of the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash between Zimbabwe and West Indies! We are at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai today, for the second match of Group 1 of the Super 8.
