Jason Holder and Rovman Poowell forged an unbeaten 76 runs for the fifth wicket to steer West Indies to a challenging 195/4 in 20 overs after being sent to bat first by India captain Suryakumar Yadav in the final Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup 2026. In what is a virtual quarterfinal in the tournament, the winner today will join South Africa, England and New Zealand in the semifinals, scheduled for March 4 and 5.

However, it was Powell and Holder who made sure, West Indies bowlers have something to defend. Powell slammed 34 off just 19 balls, including three fours and two sixes, while Holder smashed 37 off 22 balls, laced with two fours and three sixes.
