KARACHI — In a result that could prove pivotal for India’s campaign, South Africa delivered a dominant 9-wicket demolition of West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2026, severely denting the Caribbean side’s standing in the group and handing India a significant advantage in the points table race.
Batting first, West Indies posted 176/8 in their allotted 20 overs — a target that South Africa chased down with ruthless efficiency, losing just one wicket as they reached 177/1 to wrap up a comprehensive victory.
The result leaves West Indies in a precarious position in the group standings, with their hopes of advancing to the next stage now hanging by a thread. Cricket analysts suggest the outcome could not have come at a better time for India, as it clears the path for their progression through the tournament.
Adding to the drama of the day, India themselves produced a stunning performance in their own fixture, piling up a massive 256/4 and restricting their opponents to just 184/6 — clinching a commanding 72-run victory that further consolidated their position atop the group.
With both results going in India’s favour, the Men in Blue now find themselves in an enviable position heading into the latter stages of the T20 World Cup 2026.
