Shimron Hetmyer | Player of the Match:

It means a lot, actually, more so because of the fact that I didn't get much in the last game. I'm just trying to make sure that I keep replicating the same things that I've been doing over the past couple of months. And so far, it's been working.
(On batting at number three) It feels good. It's a lot easier now because I've been doing it for a while. I understand the role better, I know how situations unfold, and having the backing of everyone in the team really helps. That support puts me in a much more comfortable headspace.

(On being the leading six-hitter and equalling the tournament record) I'm not thinking too much about it, to be honest. It does feel good to have achieved something like that, but as a team, we haven't really accomplished anything yet. It's just one game, and there's still a long way to go. We're taking it one game at a time and just trying to keep pushing forward. Family back home keeps supporting me. My wife and kids praying for me, that really helps. It keeps me motivated and pushes me to keep trying to do better.
(Key to today's success) Not overthinking my batting. In the past, I used to overthink a lot. about plans, about getting out. Now, I'm trying to think less and let the bat do the talking, just react.

Well deserved !!!

RR ab hamari koi kaam ki nahi...We should ignore and focus only on winning (and other people losing)

Hope India can defeat WI like how Kapil Dev s team did....

The 44-run partnership between Brad Evans and Ngarava is the highest 10th-wicket stand in the T20 World Cup.

West Indies have won all five matches they played at Wankhede in the T20 World Cups.

This is the fifth consecutive win for the West Indies - their longest winning streak in the Men’s T20 World Cup.

31 sixes in this match is the most hit in a T20 World Cup match, bettering 30 sixes in the NED against IRE game at Sylhet in the 2014 edition.

Biggest wins margin for WI in T20Is (by runs)

107 vs ZIM, Wankhede, 2026*

104 vs AFG, Gros Islet, 2024

84 vs PAK, Mirpur, 2014

74 vs AUS, Colombo RPS, 2012

All their top five biggest T20I wins by runs came in World Cups.

This is also the biggest defeat by a run margin for Zimbabwe in T20Is, bettering the 100-run losses vs AUS & vs IND at Harare in 2018 and 2024 respectively.

West Indies breaking all records today

Rovman Powell: It was obviously a very good wicket. Credit has to be given to Hetmyer. When I was starting, he kind of eased the pressure off me with those good hits, which allowed me to get myself in. Once I got set, it was a good wicket to hit a few sixes. I had the best seat in the house. The plan was simple - he (Hetmyer) was going at it, so I just tried to give him the strike. And then when I started going, he gave me the strike after he got a little bit tired. That’s how partnerships operate. Definitely an advantage. We as Caribbean boys, we like Mumbai - we like Wankhede, so it’s definitely a place where we have confidence. It’s a place where we play good cricket. Coming back here to play against Zimbabwe, we knew that if we put pressure on them, they would feel it.

Most individual sixes in a T20 WC edition

17* - Shimron Hetmyer (2026)

17 - Nicholas Pooran (2024)

16 - Chris Gayle (2012)

229/4 - SA vs ENG, Wankhede, 2016

This is also the highest T20I totals against Zimbabwe, bettering India’s 234/2 at Harare in 2024.
