West Indies have gone on to the top spot in Group D after the win
Sherfane Rutherford was adjudged 'Player of the Match'
Adil Rashid picked up 2 wickets for England for just 16 runs in 4 overs
West Indies thrash England by 30 runs in Group D match of the T20 World Cup at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on February 11, 2026.
After being pushed into bat first, the West Indies were off to a shaky start as they lost both the openers within the first two overs but Shimron Hetmeyer and Roston Chase batted well to make sure that they optimized the powerplay.
England again chipped in two quick wickets but Sherfane Rutherford played a sensational knock of 76 runs off 42 balls to take WI to 196/6 in 20 overs. Rutherford was well complemented by Jason Holder, who gave his team much-needed impetus at the end.
England got off to a sensational start on the back of Phil Salt's blazing 30 off 14 balls, but they could not build on the momentum and kept losing wickets at regular intervals to lose the match by 30 runs.
Sam Curran showed resilience with the bat and scored a not-out 43 but wasn't supported by other batters, and the entire England batting was bundled at 166 in 19 overs.
