ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 continued to deliver thrilling action as India secured a crucial victory in the 52nd and final Super-8 match played in Kolkata. India booked its place in the semifinals by defeating the West Indies by five wickets at Eden Gardens. With a spot in the tournament’s final four at stake, India needed a win at all costs, and the team rose to the occasion in style. The Men in Blue waved the flag of victory in front of their home crowd and sealed their semifinal berth emphatically.

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl first, but with the collective effort of their batters, the West Indies posted a big score of 195/4 in 20 overs, with Roston Chase contributing the most with 40 runs. Chasing the target was not easy for India, but Sanju Samson, with his 97-run innings, helped India secure the win with four balls to spare.

When India lost Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan in the powerplay, it seemed that it was going to be difficult to progress from here, because the rest of the batters had not made any significant contributions apart from the match against Zimbabwe. But Sanju Samson had decided something different on the field. Sanju batted in a very balanced manner, attacking where there was a need to score quickly. Meanwhile, in the middle overs, when India needed partnerships, Sanju changed his aggressive approach and batted cautiously, remaining unbeaten till the end to take the team to the target.
