Two-time champions West Indies will look to finish their Group C campaign unbeaten when they take on tournament debutants Italy in their final league match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Thursday at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The Men in Maroon, led by Shai Hope, have already booked their place in the Super 8s after dominant wins over Scotland, England and Nepal. With momentum firmly on their side, West Indies will be eager to make it four in four and enter the next stage with maximum confidence.
Italy, meanwhile, may be out of the qualification race, but their campaign has included a historic highlight — their first-ever World Cup victory, a 10-wicket win over Nepal. They will now aim to sign off with a spirited performance against one of the tournament favourites.
Even though the result won’t affect the Super 8 qualification, both sides will be keen to end the group stage on a winning note.
