India National Cricket Team vs West Indies National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: Sanju Samson played the innings of his career (97*) to book the final T20 World Cup semifinal slot for India. 

West Indies posted a massive total of 195/4 in their 20 overs against India in the 52nd match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. Roston Chase was the top run-getter for the West Indies with a 40-run knock in 25 balls, whereas Jason Holder (37), and Rovman Powell (34) provided finishing touches with crucial knocks. 

For India, Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets, whereas Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakravarthy found a scalp each. 

India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first, fielding an unchanged lineup, whereas the West Indies brought in Akeal Hosein to replace Brandon King. 

A win for India would secure their spot in the last four, while a defeat would likely spell elimination from the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

India holds a commanding lead in their T20I head-to-head record against West Indies, winning 19 of 30 encounters.

    “We want to bowl first tonight. The surface looks good. It has been a chasing ground. Wicket later on becomes even better. And also with a little bit of dew factor, I think chasing would be a better option. (Great venue to play this game) Absolutely. I mean, it’s already very wild. The crowd is in. Hopefully, we can give them a good show tonight. (Mood in the dressing room) There will be tension. There will be nerves. But if there’s no pressure, there’s no fun. But the mood in the camp is good. I think we ticked all the boxes in the last game. And taking that positivity coming here in this game, I think it’ll be a good one. No, we’re going with the same team. Same team,” the India captain said.
