India (199/5) storm into the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 with a commanding five-wicket victory over the West Indies (195/4)

[Devadwal]

Beast of a contest this is gonna be... India should win this...

Don't know why but I have feeling we are going to lose this match. I'm not getting good vibes at all.

Na kar bhai... 1 asian side left.. Should go all the way

 

[Devadwal]

Na kar bhai... 1 asian side left.. Should go all the way

let's be honest, every Pakistani fan, including you, desperately wanted India to lose this match.

And this is understandable, as Indian fans yesterday wanted to see Pakistan eliminated from the World T20.

This is the mark of a staunch rival's.

Nope... I want India to win here... They should win to let know Pakistan that this side is worst than a minnow.

 

[Ted123]

India will qualify but not win the tournament.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

In this WC this Indian team hasn’t performed yet against a single quality opposition, no disrespect to Pakistan.

In the one game we came up against an elite rival we were thrashed.

If we make it, it will be a case of barely making it, and then being totally outclassed in the semis.

My money is on Varun chakravarthy if india Win this match. He is going to be man of the match.

 

[shah9425]

This regressive attitude towards India is what made Pakistan underdeveloped for decades. We could have built a strong nations together if we ignored the voice of America and now China who use Pakistan for their selfish motives.

India and current govt is responsible for this

Sorry but I will support every team against India

India is spreading hatred so they deserve it

If standing up to the jee-haan-dee forces like our govt is doing, which most countries are also doing world wide, is 'spreading hatred' then more of it please.

Whist at it, the ELECTED head of my country's govt and ruling party has been given 29 highest civilian awards from those countries.

If he is visits Putin and also on the same trip vists his mate Zelansky, if Both Israel and Palestine can give him their highest civilian awards, he is doing something fantastic.

Like Paresh Rawal said in 'Andaz Apna Apna' - Tere aadmi dus dus hazzar ke suit pehnte hain, pur akul 10 P ki nahi !

 

[jnaveen1980]

@jnaveen1980 What’s gone is gone.

Ind fans got a lot to cheer yesterday when SL thrashed us. Now time to return the favor.

Certainly i didn't care who won ro who lost. Deep down wished INdia and pakistan sneak through and meet up as pakistan is the easiest team to face against among NZ, SA, WI. We don't insult potentially powerful oppositions. Wishing pakistan lose is like wishing Bangladesh lose IF they play well , good for them. We will come back strongly as we have a strong bench strength. Unlike all the other teams India is the only team that did a massive change to the side post 2024 world cup. SA is essentially the same experienced side. So is WI, NZ. IN terms of batting experience India is the junior most team. So we do expect hiccups plus we have a clown coach who experiments needlessly.

Yeah keep doing it

I will celebrate every defeat of India and enjoy it

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

There's no bigger threat than Hetmyer considering the form he is in. Others are manageable, I think .

Bumrah has a very good record against Hetmyer. Has dismissed him 5 times in 21 balls

 

[shah9425]

Cmon west Indies smash them

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah but that was a long time ago I think. Hetmyer was quite a rubbish player until 2 years when Sammy actually dropped him from the playing XI and he was seen as a lazy, unfit guy.

His game has improved by leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.

Also, Bumrah is not the bowler he used to be. He's no longer unplayable.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Cmon west Indies smash them

lol, India is going to the semi-finals

 

[harshjoshi87]

If there is dew, West Indies have an outside chance.

If there is no dew, the current World Champions will trash the former 2 time World Champions.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Victory of West Indies will be victory of good over evil.
Let's go west Indies destroy these arrogant evil indians.

 

[Cricfan8920]

Cmon west Indies smash them

Bhai thoda thanda ho ja. You keep repeating the same thing, tabiyat kharab ho jayegi

 

[shah9425]

I hope not

When India gets kicked out today

Fan of no.6 ranked team is imploring no.7 ranked team to beat no.1 ranked team he should have implored no.6 team to do the job !!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Not a good Sunday so far. Australian Women team thrashed Indian Women team today.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

India will beat the crap out of the West indies. They are overhyped and overrated after mauling some minnow teams and an out of form England. Their true colors were exposed against South Africa. This will be similar to the beating they got from South Africa.

 

[Hikaru]

There are a few PP certainties for the evening :

- If WI win the toss and decide whatever, they already gifted Bharat half the match as it was a "do the opposite" track. #TossFixing

- Midway during the match, West Indian/umpire loyalties will be questioned.
#SoldOutToBCCI

- If Bumrah does well, a few brothers will spam chucking for a while, if he doesn't do well, we won't hear the end of Farhan ending his career.
#ChuckpreetBumrah

I am sure I am missing a more cope, but all these are a certainty.

[Inswinging Yorker]

As much as I want them to eliminate them again. i just dont get the vibe windies can win this.

This windies team are minnow bashers.They will beat or compete with weak teams like Sl. AFG, Bangla, Pakistan etc. nothing special about them. They will 9 out of 10 times lose against the quality teams like Auss, india, England and Sa.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I hope not

Literally no doubt on that

West Indies has terrible record against Pakistan like they have only won 3 matches against them and they have played like over 20 matches if I m correct.
West Indies is a terrible team but you can hope that they can cause a upset especially on those indian roads.

The only way they can beat India is if the indian team drinks a laxative before the game. India will maul them with a one sided victory. They do not have quality players who can challenge the top teams consistently. Hetmeyer is a minnow basher. Moti, will be mauled. Those are the facts...wait and see

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Sherfane rutherford and shimron hetymer are the players who can win this for West Indies.
I just hope they are not sold out.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Badly want WI to mimic their old t20 cricket performances

 

[globetrotter]

Batting 2nd will have huge advantage

 

[G0rmintAunty]

India choose to bowl. Bad choice perhaps

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This ravi Shastri oldie is such a clown. Get out of here.

 

[globetrotter]

India wins the toss and elected to bowl

 

[Fast bowler6929]

I think advantage india with dew later on.

 

[NeVerMind]

India choose to bowl. Bad choice perhaps

Is there chance of dew later on?

 

[cricket.mad]

Is there chance of dew later on?

Yes …huge dew will be for sure in culvutta always

 

[Devadwal]

India won the toss and chose to Bowl first.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

All the west Indies mercenaries must beat the evil today. Let's go west indies.

 

[stani_pak]

Ravi Shahstri is sooo cringe haha

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Yes …huge dew will be for sure in culvutta always

Then, advantage India

 

[Rana]

Why choose to field? India won all games batting first

 

[NeVerMind]

Why choose to field? India won all games batting first

Dew factor

 

[shah9425]

Cmon west Indies smash 200

 

[Mockingbird]

For once we won a crucial toss!

 

[cricket.mad]

Cmon west Indies smash 200

Will be minimum and I think India won’t mind restricting wi to 200..they will be more than happy to chase 200

 

[Rajdeep]

India need to bat, bowl and field well to win this game

 

[Rana]

Will be minimum and I think India won’t mind restricting wi to 200..they will be more than happy to chase 200

I think 200 will be enough, it’s risky chasing in high pressure games like this

 

[gazza619]

Wrong decision to bowl first I think.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lucky toss to win for our neighbours, the mercurial and awkwardly, Endians.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It's risky either way on a black soil pitch. Both captains said they would chase - suggests that dew is expected.

 

[Devadwal]

200 is more than enough. We can chase up to 180. They are playing Akeal Hosein who is going to trouble Abhishek and Kishan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dew. Ultra fast outfield, short boundaries on some sides West Indies can easilycatch up while chasing.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Don't know why but I have feeling we are going to lose this match. I'm not getting good vibes at all.

I have exactly the same feeling. Let’s see how it goes. Best wishes

 

[Mockingbird]

I have exactly the same feeling. Let’s see how it goes. Best wishes

And I have the opposite feeling - usually I am the most pessimistic ahead of any match, but quietly confident of this one

 

[batandballbattle]

India bowling first, looking at the dew factor I guess. But that could go out of the window if the score gets to 185 odd, WI have a very long batting order

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

@Rajdeep, iska alag hi chal raha hai aaj.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Indian batting unit despite insane talent is not experienced enough to handle pressure in pressure matches. And we have Gambhir who does weird things

 

[jnaveen1980]

India will back themselves to chase 185.

 

[Rajdeep]

Easy win coming for India.

If they score 150, we chase with ease.

If they score 180, we chase with ease.

If they score 200, we chase with ease.

If they score 220, we chase with ease.

If they score 250, we .....

 

[Ab Fan]

I think the team that will play better today will play the semi final vs England.

Mat kar lala. South Africa ke main bhi kiya tha

Eden is chasing ground

Why is inform Brandon King not playing? BCCI = ICC?

@Fast bowler6929

Eden is chasing ground

Sure

Beautiful stadium...

 

[Rajdeep]

Beautiful tiful stadium...

Question is, is Eden Gardens better than Modi stadium?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chase opening with Hope interesting

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Well ahmedabad have its own grace.. India have upgraded stadiums very nicely

 

[Mas-LFC]

Come on WINDIES!!!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

190 is enough?

Eden Gardens is packed out

Come on WINDIES!!!

Come on!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Question is, is Eden Gardens better than Modi stadium?

Yes. Even Feroz Shah Kotla is better than Panauti Stadium.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This Arshdeep is such an epic trundler with pace of 128-133ks range.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tight over from Sardarji

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Good decision to open with Chase and Hope. No point continuing with an out of form player like Brandon King. Chase is in the side more for his off-spin and his SR is not on the higher side so might as well have him open
