West Indies defeated England by 30 runs in Group C of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Wednesday 11 February 2026, with the match starting at 19:00 IST (UTC+5:30). Wankhede Stadium holds 33,000 spectators and has a famous history of producing high-scoring T20 encounters thanks to its true pitch and short square boundaries.

This was a clash between two former T20 World Cup champions. England won the title in 2022, while West Indies have lifted the trophy twice, in 2012 and 2016. Between them, these two nations account for three of the first ten T20 World Cup titles, making this one of the most significant fixtures of the group stage.

England’s modern white-ball approach, built on aggressive batting and pace bowling, made them one of the tournament favorites. Their 2022 triumph was built on a philosophy of fearless cricket, playing no-fear shots from ball one and backing their bowlers to defend any total. West Indies answered with their own brand of explosive power, the kind that had won them two titles and made them the spiritual home of T20 cricket.

West Indies prevailed by 30 runs in a result that shifted the Group C dynamics significantly. The defeat left England needing to recalibrate their tournament approach, while West Indies’s victory served as a statement of intent to the rest of the field.
