India Must Beat West Indies to Reach T20 World Cup Semis

March 1, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

India needs a win against West Indies at Eden Gardens on Sunday to secure a semifinal spot in the T20 World Cup, eliminating the need for complex net run-rate calculations.

India faces West Indies in a decisive T20 World Cup semifinal at Eden Gardens. With net run-rate no longer a factor, a win guarantees a knockout spot, though the unpredictable Caribbean side remains a threat. Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma have regained form, but India must guard against West Indies' spinners.

Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be the key bowler, having been economical throughout the tournament. While West Indies boasts dangerous batters like Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope, India's focus will be on capitalizing on their home advantage.
