The two-time champion, England, had a tough first game in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 when Nepal took them very close to an embarrassment. The match came down to the last ball, and Sam Curran held his nerves well and defended 10 runs in the last over. The win margin was just four runs in the end. That win must have raised some questions on the current English team. They failed with the bat.
Their two premier bowlers, Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer, were toothless. But they will hope for a better show as they look to take on West Indies in their next game. This contest will be live from Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday at 7 PM IST. West Indies started the tournament with a comprehensive win. Shimron Hetmyer played yet another game-changing knock, and Romario Shepherd had his second hat-trick in T20I. The Caribbean side will be confident and will look to produce a good performance for this game.

ENG vs WI: Players to Watch out for
West Indies: Shimron Hetmyer is in great form with the bat. His confidence is also very high, and he is not letting the opposition settle with the ball.
England: Sam Curran is very important for this English side. He won them the game against Nepal and also adds a lot of value with the bat.
England vs West Indies Today’s Match Prediction: England have a destructive batting unit, and West Indies also have strong batting resources. Both teams will like this batting track in Mumbai. With two teams with almost similar batting power, it will all come down to the bowling. West Indies have been inconsistent with the ball in recent years.
Largely because they are carrying a lot of all-rounders and have very few specialist bowlers. On the other hand, England have a better bowling combination, which can work well under pressure, as they did against Nepal. That is why England are expected to beat West Indies in this game.
