As they enter the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, the West Indies have improved their performance. They have not allowed the opposition to get close to them in their three consecutive victories. They will now play Italy on Thursday to round up the group stage.
This competition, which will take place at Kolkata's Eden Gardens, will go live at 11 AM IST. The bowling form of Shai Hope and company has returned, and these wickets are providing decent purchase for their spinners. Italy has also been able to battle effectively and even come out on top. They can compete with the West Indies in this match because of their strong play.

Eden Gardens Pitch Report:
The surface at Eden Gardens has been fairly flat and has shown itself to be an excellent batting track. The wickets here will grip as the ball ages, so the spinners have done well. Timing the ball will become challenging at that point. As a result, chasing can be challenging.
