Preview

In the 37th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, West Indies (WI) are set to face Italy (ITA) on Thursday at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This is the final league stage match for both these sides. Italy has already been eliminated. They have one win in three matches but despite losing the other two matches they have fought well. They particularly showed plenty of fight against England in the last game and will be keen to finish the tournament on a positive note.
On the other hand, West Indies have been flawless in this T20 World Cup and have three wins in three matches. They are already through to the Super 8 stages and they might try out a few new players in this match. They won their last match by nine wickets against Nepal

Pitch Report

The iconic Eden Gardens is known for its balanced pitch surface that offers excellent pace and bounce from the start. The ball coming nicely on the bat allows batters to score runs in the early phase of the game. The quick outfield is even more beneficial. There is little help for the pacers, and they need to stick to a line and length
