History could repeat itself at Wankhede Stadium as Zimbabwe faces West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 stage. Fresh off group-stage triumphs over Australia and Sri Lanka, the African side dreams of another upset against the two-time winners.
Star performer Brian Bennett has piled on 175 runs in three matches, including a match-defining 63 off 48 versus Sri Lanka. Captain Sikandar Raza’s versatility and Blessing Muzarabani’s nine wickets highlight Zimbabwe’s balanced attack.
Unscathed so far, West Indies rely on Shai Hope’s 155 runs (SR 134) and Shimron Hetmyer’s explosive 134 (SR 159). Bowling spearheads Jason Holder and Shamar Joseph share 14 wickets between them.
Known for high-scoring games, Wankhede offers 172 as first-innings par and 154 for chases, with help for pacers upfront and spinners later. Sunny conditions guarantee a complete contest.
West Indies hold a 3-1 edge in T20Is, yet Zimbabwe’s resurgence poses a real threat. Expect a tactical battle under the Mumbai lights.
