England face off against the West Indies in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Wednesday, February 11. The Three Lions take on the Calypso Kings in one of the marquee games of the tournament’s group stage at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both the former world champions are eyeing their second victory of the biannual competition after a successful start to the campaign.
Led by Harry Brook, England seemed stunned by the fight that the spirited Nepal side showed in their first Group C match. But they ultimately came out triumphant by 4 runs following an excellent 20th over delivered by Sam Curran. The left-arm seamer deployed his fantastic mix of off-cutters and yorkers and ultimately defended the 10 runs that Nepal needed for a sensational victory.
Curran managed to silence the roaring Nepal fans and infused a sense of relief for Brook and the management, for any hiccup in the initial stage could’ve come back to haunt them later on.
The West Indies, too, made sure to register an early win in the competition and earned themselves good momentum in the pursuit of sealing the Super 8s berth. Shai Hope’s Calypso Kings defeated Scotland at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata with Shimron Hetmyer and Romario Shepherd emerging as their stand-out performers for the day. While Hetmyer smashed 64 off 36 balls to take the Caribbean side to 182/5 in their 20 overs, Shepherd bagged fantastic figures of 5 for 20 and ensured the Scottish side finished 147 all out.
As two of the world’s most dangerous T20 batting line-ups approach the next game, one can expect proper fireworks with the bat, especially if the Wankhede pitch plays true to its historic nature.
