After securing a narrow four-run win in a nerve-wracking contest against Nepal, England are getting ready to take on the West Indies in their second group-stage match of the T20 World Cup 2026. The highly anticipated encounter will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. 

Led by Harry Brook, England avoided Nepal scare, clinching a four-run victory in their first match of the tournament. While skipper Brook led from the front with an impactful half-century, Sam Curran showcased nerves of steel and bowled a magnificent final over to seal England's victory. 

On the contrary, the West Indies absolutely annihilated Scotland in their T20 World Cup opener. Riding on Shimron Hetmyer's breezy fifty, they posted a challenging 182-run total on the board. Although Richie Berrington and Tom Bruce fought back for Scotland, Romario Shepherd stamped a dominating Windies victory with a spectacular five-wicket haul. 

England and the West Indies share an age-old cricketing rivalry across all formats. The gulf between the two teams is quite narrow in T20Is, with England winning 19 and the West Indies emerging victorious on 18 encounters. With their head-to-head record promising a tight contest, we explain ENG vs WI pitch report and ENG vs WI weather report for this clash.

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai contradicted its past behaviour in the first two T20 World Cup matches. The track was slightly tacky and made things difficult for the batters, as India lost their first six wickets in 77 runs. The ball held up a bit after pitching, assisting spin and change-ups from the fast bowlers. 

The pitch for England's first game against Nepal saw a better outing from the batters, with both teams scoring more than 170 runs. It was a balanced deck with some assistance for the bowlers, but was more batting-friendly that the one we saw in India vs USA clash. 

So, the Wankhede Stadium pitch report for ENG vs WI is expected to be in the favour of batters with something in it for the bowlers. As it's an evening game, the fast bowlers might get some early movement with the new ball. However, as the batters get set, scoring run could become easier for them. There might be some turn on offer for the spinners. 

As dew is unlikely to play its part, the toss-winning team might elect to bat first and put runs on the board.
