West Indies beat Zimbabwe by 107 runs in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight Group 1 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Monday 23 February 2026, with play starting at 19:00 IST (UTC+5:30). Wankhede Stadium has a capacity of 33,000 and is one of India’s most storied cricket venues.
West Indies’ 107-run margin was the largest victory of the entire Super Eight stage, a demolition that announced the Caribbean side as a serious force in the tournament. When the West Indies batting order fires collectively, the scoring rate becomes almost impossible for any bowling attack to contain. Zimbabwe, who had earned their Super Eight place through genuine quality, were overwhelmed by an onslaught of boundary hitting and clean striking.
Zimbabwe’s qualification for the Super Eight was itself a significant achievement. African cricket has produced several T20 World Cup upsets, and Zimbabwe’s improving players represent the next generation of the country’s revival. Against West Indies at full power, however, even established Full Member nations can find themselves in difficulty.
