T20 World Cup Massive Win: West Indies Crush Zimbabwe
T20 World Cup 2026: West Indies Deliver Record Statement The T20 World Cup witnessed a breathtaking batting spectacle as West Indies dismantled Zimbabwe in their Super 8 clash. Posting a staggering 254/6 at the Wankhede Stadium, West Indies registered one of the highest totals in T20 World Cup history, underlining their title credentials in the T20 World Cup campaign. Record-Breaking Batting Show Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell powered West Indies to a historic total in the T20 World Cup. Hetmyer smashed 85 off just 34 balls, bringing up a 19-ball fifty — the fastest by a West Indian in T20 World Cup history. Powell added a fluent 59, as the duo stitched together a rapid partnership that broke Zimbabwe’s resistance. The team cleared the ropes 19 times, producing the first 250-plus score of this T20 World Cup edition. Zimbabwe Falter Under Pressure Chasing 255 in the T20 World Cup clash proved too steep for Zimbabwe, who collapsed to 147 despite a spirited late effort from Brad Evans. West Indies’ spin attack, led by Gudakesh Motie (4/28) and Akeal Hosein (3/28), tightened the grip and sealed a 107-run victory — their biggest win of the T20 World Cup so far. With five wins in five matches, West Indies have emerged as serious contenders as the T20 World Cup heads toward the knockout stage.
