Highest in T20 World Cup history! West Indies smash records with 107-Run against Zimbabwe

In a breathtaking display of batting aggression and power hitting, the West Indies cricket team set a new benchmark in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 , overwhelming Zimbabwe by a massive 107 runs in their Super 8 Group 1 clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.

After winning the toss, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza chose to field, hoping to restrict the Caribbean hitters on a pitch known for strokeplay. West Indies, however, had other plans. The team unleashed an all-out batting blitz, posting a colossal 254 for 6 in 20 overs , the highest team total in T20 World Cup history .

The star of the evening was Shimron Hetmyer , who produced a scintillating 85 runs off just 34 balls , laced with towering sixes and crisp boundaries. His innings included the fastest fifty of this T20 World Cup , achieved in a mere 19 balls, leaving spectators awestruck. Supporting him was Rovman Powell , who added a vital 59 off 35 balls , maintaining the momentum and ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking. Quick cameos from Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd further bolstered the total, as West Indies struck an astonishing 19 sixes in the innings, completely overwhelming Zimbabwe’s bowling attack.

Chasing a daunting target of 255, Zimbabwe never managed to build partnerships. The visitors were bowled out for 147 in 17.4 overs , succumbing to disciplined West Indies bowling led by Gudakesh Motie , who picked key wickets to dismantle the batting lineup. The margin of 107 runs reflected the dominance of the Caribbean side, leaving no doubt about their intent to advance in the tournament.

This emphatic victory keeps West Indies firmly in contention for a semi-final berth, while Zimbabwe will need to regroup quickly for their next Super 8 match. The performance was a spectacular showcase of strategic aggression and big-hitting cricket , setting the tone for the remainder of the T20 World Cup.

West Indies’ relentless approach, combined with record-breaking batting feats, has not only secured a commanding win but also sent a clear message to the other Super 8 teams: the Caribbean side is a force to be reckoned with in this year’s tournament.
