Yesterday Match Result – West Indies vs Zimbabwe ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Highlights February 23

West Indies stormed past Zimbabwe by 107 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on February 23, 2026.

The third match of Super Eights in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 was a one-sided affair as the West Indies posted a huge 254/6 total in 20 overs.

Sikandar Raza won the toss and decided to chase, which was the correct decision until both West Indies openers got out, but after that, it was carnage from Shimron Hetmyer, who scored a brilliant 85 runs in just 34 balls alongside Rovman Powell, who smashed 59 off 35 balls. However, Hetmyer’s two catches were dropped (on 9 & 70 runs) by Zimbabwe’s Tashinga Musekiwa, which cost them the match.

Sherfane Rutherford (31), Romario Shepherd (21), and Jason Holder’s 13-run innings helped the West Indies post the highest total of the 2026 T20 World Cup and also the second-highest total in the T20 World Cup history.

From the Zimbabwe bowling unit, Richard Ngarava (2 wickets), Blessing Muzarabani (2 wickets), Brad Evans (1 wicket), and Graeme Cremer (1 wicket) were in the wickets column.

Chasing 255, Zimbabwe opener Brian Bennett got out on 5 runs, and it was the first time he dismissed in this tournament. The required run rate was too much for the Zimbabwe batters from the start, and they kept losing their wickets.

Brad Evans, with 43 off 21 balls, was the top scorer for Zimbabwe, alongside contributions from Dion Myers (28 off 15) and Raza (27 off 20), but their team wad dismissed for 147 in 17.4 overs. West Indies spinners Akeal Hosein (3) and Gudakesh Motie (4) shared 7 wickets. Matthew Forde with 2 wickets and Jason Holder with 1 took their team to a 107-run win.
