The final Super 8 fixture for Group 1 in the T20 World Cup 2026 is set to be a blockbuster at the Eden Gardens with the West Indies and India locking horns for the last time as the loser will be eliminated. Following India's dominant performance against Zimbabwe, this match against the West Indies has effectively become a "virtual quarter-final." The equation for India is simple, a victory on Sunday will guarantee a spot in the semi-finals alongside South Africa.

Official Timings for Indian Viewers

For fans across India, the encounter will follow the standard evening prime-time schedule:

Toss Time: 6:30 PM
Match Starts: 7:00 PM
 
Pitch curators have noted that the pitch has something for both teams, and chemicals have been sprayed to counter dew.

Kolkata Knockout Scenarios

The Win Scenario: An outright win of any margin will take India to 4 points, securing their qualification.

The Rain Factor: While the forecast is currently clear (34°C during the day, cooling to 26°C), a washout would be disastrous for India. Since there is no reserve day for this fixture, a "no result" would see both teams share a point. In this case, the West Indies (+1.791 NRR) would advance over India (-0.100 NRR) based on their superior Net Run Rate.
