Zimbabwe and West Indies are set to clash in the Super 8 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 on Monday, February 23 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The high-voltage encounter will begin at 7:00 PM IST.

Zimbabwe have stunned everyone by topping their group, defeating heavyweights Australia and Sri Lanka. Unbeaten so far, the spirited side under Sikandar Raza have played fearless cricket and will be eager to carry their remarkable momentum into the Super 8 stage.

West Indies also arrive in red-hot form, winning all four of their group matches. Their emphatic triumph over England stood out as a statement victory. Led by Shai Hope, they aim to counter Zimbabwe’s intensity and stretch their winning run to five games.

ZIM vs WI: Key Player Battles

Brian Bennett vs Gudakesh Motie

The player battle between Zimbabwe’s in-form opener Brian Bennett and West Indies’ left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie could shape the ZIM vs WI heavily. Bennett has been Zimbabwe’s leading run-scorer and remains unbeaten in the tournament. However, Motie has been brilliant at the Wankhede Stadium and may prompt an early introduction to counter the in-form opener.

Sherfane Rutherford vs Blessing Muzarabani

Sherfane Rutherford has been West Indies’ main man with the bat, providing explosive late hitting and striking at over 180 in the tournament so far. Blessing Muzarabani, meanwhile, has played a crucial role at the death, delivering key overs under pressure. His responsibility will be to keep Rutherford quiet, a battle that could heavily influence the outcome of ZIM vs WI clash in Mumbai.

Sikandar Raza vs Shamarh Joseph

This player battle many might overlook in ZIM vs WI, but it could prove decisive. Sikandar Raza has the ability to change the game in the blink of an eye, striking at over 182 this tournament and delivering impactful knocks in the middle or death overs. Shamarh Joseph, brilliant and economical as a middle-overs enforcer and at the death, will aim to dismiss Raza early before he works his magic.

ZIM vs WI: Toss Predictions

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has proven to be a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers during T20 World Cup 2026. While it has been true for most of the tournament, the pitch has occasionally made it difficult for the chasing side, with spinners getting assistance in the latter stages of the game.

With both Zimbabwe and West Indies coming into the Super 8 clash with solid batting form, the captain winning the toss in this ZIM vs WI showdown will likely opt to bowl first. The cooler evening conditions will make batting easier in the second innings, and a chase around 170–180 should be within reach.
