India flip the result on West Indies, Sanju makes it count and Bumrah tackles Shimron, as India march into semis

Published by Webster

India defeated West Indies by five wickets in the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday to qualify for semifinals where they will find England. 10 years ago, West Indies had knocked India out in the semifinal of the 2016 T20 World Cup, chasing down 193 in the final over to break Indian hearts. When the two sides met again a decade later, the equation felt familiar. India needed 196 in Kolkata. This time, the roles flipped – India held their nerve in the last over to seal a place in the semifinal. At the centre of that turnaround was Sanju Samson. Only a week earlier, he had been watching from the dugout with little sign of another opportunity in this tournament. But once drafted back into the XI, the task was clear: set the tone in a steep chase and make it count. Samson did exactly that. Batting with fluency and intent, he took on the quicks, found the gaps, and kept India within reach of …

Earlier I used to overthink, now I let the bat do the talking: WI hero Shimron Hetmyer | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

Shimron Hetmyer, who destroyed Zimbabwe’s bowling with his brutal onslaught in the West Indies’ 107-run win in a T20 World Cup Super Eights match here on Monday, said the key was to stop overthinking and simply let his bat do the talking. Hetmyer blasted seven sixes and seven fours in a breathtaking 85 off just 34 balls as the Caribbean side powered their way to 254 for 6, the second-highest team total in the tournament’s history. Hetmyer, who was named Player of the Match, said earlier he used to plan and overthink a lot, which was proving detrimental to his batting. “Not overthinking my batting (now). In the past, I used to overthink a lot… about plans, about getting out. Now, I’m trying to think less and let the bat do the talking, just react (to the situation),” said the West Indies white-ball specialist after the game. He said the match-changing knock meant a great deal to him, especially after a lean outing against Italy in the group stage where he managed just one run. …

4 min readMumbaiFeb 23, 2026 11:19 PM IST Just over an hour before play began on Monday, Shimron Hetmyer stood at the crease on the pitch for West Indies’ Super 8s clash against Zimbabwe. The sun was dipping, teammates were in the middle of their routines, but the left-hander was already visualising what might unfold later that evening. Hetmyer has never hidden what he enjoys most about batting. In an interview several years ago, he had spoken about his love for clearing the rope and why that thrill meant more to him than simply finishing as the top scorer for his side. “People will ask who is going to make the most runs and stuff like that. I just say I am going to hit the most sixes, and everyone starts laughing. I just bat as I see it, but if I get a ball I can hit for six, I will. I do like hitting sixes,” he had told The Telegraph in 2019. On Monday night, he showed that his appetite remained undiminished by …

IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals make heavy weather of modest target before Shimron Hetmyer seals deal against Punjab Kings | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Synopsis: A game neither team seemingly wanted to win meandered along until Kagiso Rabada threatened to seize it for Punjab in the middle overs of the chase before Shimron Hetmyer ensured that Rajasthan Royals prevailed in the final over. With Jos Buttler out of the game due to injury, Rajasthan Royals took the decision to open with bowling all-rounder Tanush Kotian. Perhaps, the plan was to just stay there and runs would come, but it didn’t quite go that way as both openers – Kotian and Yashasvi Jaiswal – dawdled along. Only 43 runs came in the Powerplay and Kotian fell in the 9th over to leg-spinner Liam Livingstone, rushing out for a big hit but failing to connect and getting bowled for 31-ball 24. Jaiswal too couldn’t really break free as he could only make a 28-ball 39. Rabada threatens Kagiso Rabada came on in the middle overs with 69 needed from 54 balls, and by the time he finished, the equation was 58 from 36 balls. Sensing Jaiswal was making room to have …
