    T20 WC: Shimron Hetmyer's 64 Powers West Indies To 182/5 Against Scotland

    T20 World Cup: Shimron Hetmyer’s blazing 64 powered two-time champions West Indies to 182/5 in their 20 overs against Scotland in a Group C clash of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. Scotland will need 183 to win at a venue known for high-scoring contests.

    West Indies were circumspect early, making 33 without loss in the power-play. Though openers Brandon King and captain Shai Hope departed in quick succession, Hetmyer, fresh from visa-related travel delays, picked up the lengths quickly to seize control of the innings by smacking a 22-ball fifty - the fastest half-century hit by a West Indies men’s in World Cup history.

    Hetmyer, who hit two fours and six maximums at a strike-rate of 177.78, added 81 runs for the third wicket with Rovman Powell, who played second fiddle through a 14-ball 24, while Sherfane Rutherford’s late cameo of 26 off 13 balls lifted the total past 180.
