Preview

In the 52nd T20 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, India is set to face the West Indies. India makes an impressive comeback against Zimbabwe, registering a commanding 72-run victory in their previous encounter. Batting first, India posted a total of 256 runs, while Zimbabwe were restricted to 184 in response. With the bat, Abhishek Sharma contributed 55 off 30 deliveries, and Tilak Varma played a game-changing innings of 44 runs from just 16 balls. In the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh took three wickets for 24 runs in his four-over spell.

On the other hand, the West Indies did not perform particularly well in their last match as they lost by 9 wickets against South Africa. The top order failed to make a significant impact, though the team managed to post 176 runs. However, South Africa comfortably chased down the target in just 16.1 overs. Romario Shepherd was the standout performer with the bat, scoring 52 runs, while Roston Chase picked up the lone wicket for his side.

Pitch Report

The surface at Eden Gardens is generally regarded as well-balanced. The quick outfield allows batters to score freely, while pacers benefit from consistent bounce and pace early in the innings. As the match progresses, spinners are also likely to find assistance. In this tournament, teams batting first have won four of the five matches played at this venue, suggesting that the captain winning the toss may prefer to set a target.
