India aim to avenge the iconic 2016 ICC T20 World Cup semi‑final loss to West Indies, when Lendl Simmons’ unbeaten 82 led the Caribbean side to a stunning seven‑wicket victory at Wankhede Stadium, ending India’s campaign in dramatic fashion. Nearly a decade later, both teams meet in a crucial 2026 Super 8 showdown in Kolkata with semi‑final qualification at stake. India, stronger on paper and familiar with home conditions, seek to rewrite history, while West Indies carry fond memories of past success in T20 World Cups and Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. (PC: PTI)
