The game between the two teams will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, March 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">India come into the clash on the back of a solid performance against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/category\/zimbabwe\/\" title=\"Zimbabwe\" class=\"auto-internal-link\" data-auto-link=\"1\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-rule-id=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zimbabwe<\/a>. They registered a solid 72-run win at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. They had a decent start to their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, but faced a hiccup in the middle.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">India faced a massive loss against South Africa in their opening game of the Super 8. The 76-run loss hampered India\u2019s NRR big time and they were in a must-win situation against Zimbabwe, which thankfully they won by a big margin.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, the West Indies enter the clash on the back of their big loss against South Africa. They were thrashed by nine wickets and are now also in a do-or-die situation in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What does India needs to do to qualify for the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2026?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">India are in a must-win situation yet again in the T20 World Cup 2026. They need to win against West Indies at any cost if they have to fancy their chances of qualifying for the semi-final of the tournament.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For India to qualify, the equation is very simple. If they beat the West Indies, they will go ahead and take on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/category\/england\/\" title=\"England\" class=\"auto-internal-link\" data-auto-link=\"1\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-rule-id=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">England<\/a> in the semi-final. The match will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 5.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If they lose the match, India will be eliminated from the tournament and the West Indies will qualify. This means that India cannot afford to lose the game.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It remains to be seen how they will fare in the IND vs WI game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <!-- In-Content Ad -->  <!-- Twitter Embed Section (from twitter_link field) -->  <!-- FAQ Section (with FAQ Schema) -->   <!-- Tags \/ Discover More - Moved above Author Box -->  <!-- Author Box - E-E-A-T Section --> <\/p>\n<section class=\"author-box astro-qib6gt2h\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"author-box-inner astro-qib6gt2h\"> <!-- Author Avatar --> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/author\/mohit\/\" class=\"author-avatar-link astro-qib6gt2h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">  <\/a> <!-- Author Info --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"author-details astro-qib6gt2h\">  <!-- Credentials Badges --> <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"credential-badge astro-qib6gt2h\"> <strong class=\"astro-qib6gt2h\">10+<\/strong> Articles<br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"credential-badge astro-qib6gt2h\"> <strong class=\"astro-qib6gt2h\">6+<\/strong> Years Writing<br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"credential-badge astro-qib6gt2h\"><br \/>\nSince <strong class=\"astro-qib6gt2h\">2020<\/strong> <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <!-- Expertise Tags --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"author-expertise astro-qib6gt2h\"> <span class=\"expertise-label astro-qib6gt2h\">Expertise:<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"expertise-tag astro-qib6gt2h\">Cricket News<\/span><span class=\"expertise-tag astro-qib6gt2h\">Match Analysis<\/span><span class=\"expertise-tag astro-qib6gt2h\">Player Updates<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <!-- Bio --> <\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio astro-qib6gt2h\" itemprop=\"description\">Mohit Tiwari is team of experienced Author, Editor and News media management.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- Social Links -->  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- More Stories - Visible on both Desktop and Mobile -->   <!-- Google News Button --> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKML2YkQsw3tK-Aw?hl=en-IN&amp;gl=IN&amp;ceid=IN:en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Follow us on Google News\" class=\"googleNewsDiv no-underline\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"googlenewsimg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/images\/google-news-img.webp\" width=\"120\" height=\"40\" alt=\"Google News\" loading=\"eager\"\/> <\/a> <\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/ind-vs-wi-what-india-need-to-do-to-qualify-for-semi-finals-of-t20-world-cup-2026-\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IND vs WI will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
