T20 World Cup: West Indies pulled off a commanding 30-run victory over England in Group C of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, strengthening their bid for the Super 8s.
Sent in to bat, West Indies recovered from 8/2 to post 196/6, thanks largely to a blistering unbeaten 76 from Sherfane Rutherford, who struck seven sixes and two fours to set up the total. Roston Chase (34) and Jason Holder (33) provided useful support after early setbacks.
In reply, England got starts from Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell but couldn’t build big partnerships. West Indies’ spin attack dominated, with Gudakesh Motie taking 3-33 and Roston Chase chipping in with two more, strangling the chase and restricting England to 166 all out in 19 overs.
