IND vs WI: If India breaks the chain of history then semi-finals are fixed, a chance to take revenge for 10 years

The last day of the Super-8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 has reached a very decisive point. The final team of the semi-finals will now be decided by the match between India and West Indies. This match to be held on Sunday, March 1 is like do or die for both the teams, because whichever team wins, it will make it to the last four.

The match will be played in Kolkata

This important match will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. With this match, India will also have a chance to settle 10 years old scores. The last time the two teams clashed in the T20 World Cup was in 2016, when West Indies defeated India in the semi-finals and won the final and later won the title. The memories of that defeat are still a big source of inspiration for the Indian team.

If we look at the history of T20 World Cup, the record has not been in favor of India. So far, four matches have been played between the two teams, out of which India has won only one, while the West Indies cricket team has won three times. The Caribbean team defeated India in 2009, 2010 and 2016, while India got success in 2014. In such a situation, this match is not considered easy for the Indian team, especially when the West Indies team seems to be in good form at the moment.

India’s figures are strong

However, the overall T20 International statistics look strong in India’s favor. There have been a total of 30 matches between the two teams, in which India has won 19 matches, while West Indies has won 10 matches and one match had no result. India’s performance has been excellent especially at Eden Gardens, where it has won all four matches played against West Indies.

Nevertheless, West Indies have proved their strength by winning other matches of the T20 World Cup on the same ground. In such a situation, this match is expected to be very exciting. Now everyone’s eyes are on whether India will change history and reach the semi-finals or West Indies will once again break its dream.
