IND vs WI: What is the highest successful run chase in knockout match of T20 World Cup?

The IND vs WI, Match 52 of T20 World Cup 2026, is underway on March 1 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Indian Cricket Team and West Indies Cricket Team are fighting an intense battle for the semi-final spot in T20 World Cup 2026. The IND vs WI game got underway on Sunday, March 1, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Both India and West Indies have two points in their kitty in the Group 2 points table. Since this is their last game in the Super Eight Round, the winner of the match will book a berth in the semi-finals.

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to field first in the clash. However, the decision turned out to be a horrible one as West Indies batters smacked a mammoth total of 195/4 on the scoreboard.

Interestingly, none of the West Indies batters scored a half-century in the match; however, they scored runs at a high strike rate to showcase stunning teamwork in batting.

Now, India have a challenging task to chase down 196 runs in the match, considering how they suffered batting woes while chasing 188 in a prior clash against South Africa. They were bowled out for 111 runs, suffering a big setback.

What is record for the highest run-chase in knockout game of T20 World Cup 2026?

The record for the highest chase in a knockout game of T20 World Cup is held by the West Indies against India. In the semi-final of the 2016 edition, the Caribbean side crushed the Indian side by chasing down a 193-run target.

Batting first in the match, India piled up 192 runs in the first innings with Virat Kohli’s marvellous half-century. He scored 89 runs off just 47 balls, while Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane made crucial contributions.

While India were expected to win the match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai following their spectacular batting show, Lendl Simmons hammered an unbeaten 51-ball 82 to propel West Indies to a dramatic victory. Johnson Charles (52) and Andre Russell (43*) also played a prominent role in the team’s victory by seven wickets.

Later, they also crushed England in the final to win their second title in the tournament’s history. Notably, India have chased down 150+ total on three occasions in T20 World Cup’s history.
