IND vs WI T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s Weather Report: The reigning champions India will lock horns with West Indies in a virtual quarterfinal, where the team that qualifies for the semifinal will be decided. New Zealand became the third team to qualify for the semifinals after Pakistan failed to improve its NRR, having defeated Sri Lanka by 5 runs on Saturday. But the qualification scenario is quite simple for both West Indies and India- they have to win the upcoming match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.
The Suryakumar Yadav-led side made a brilliant comeback during their Super 8s match against Zimbabwe after losing their first Super 8s match to South Africa last week.
Since both teams had scored 2 points after playing the same number of matches, West Indies (1.791) has a better net run rate than India (-0.100). As a result, if the upcoming match is abandoned due to incessant rain, the Caribbean side will qualify for the semifinals, and the Men in Blue will be eliminated from the ongoing mega event in their backyard.
