England Shocked! West Indies Crush ENG by 30 Runs in Mumbai Thriller
February 11, 2026 | Mumbai, India
The England vs West Indies yesterday match result has sent ripples across the T20 World Cup 2026 — and especially across Indian cricket circles.
Under the humid Mumbai night sky at Wankhede Stadium, West Indies didn’t just win a match. They delivered a statement.
West Indies 196/6 defeated England 166 all out by 30 runs.
But that simple line does not explain the drama, the tension, the tactical brilliance, or the sudden collapse that unfolded ball by ball.
For Indian fans watching with one eye on tomorrow’s India fixture, this match felt like a tactical masterclass on how to survive — and dominate — in subcontinental conditions.

Why England vs West Indies Yesterday Match Result Matters for India
This was not just another Group C match.
It was a blueprint.
Indian pitches reward patience. They reward intelligent spin bowling. They punish reckless chasing under lights.
England came in confident — aggressive, fearless, convinced their power-hitting approach could bulldoze any target.
But Mumbai had other plans.
And so did West Indies.

West Indies Innings: Calculated Aggression, Not Chaos
West Indies 196/6 (20 overs)
The start wasn’t explosive. It was measured.
Powerplay: 42 runs. No panic. No unnecessary risks.
Brandon King rotated strike smartly. Johnson Charles tested Archer early but didn’t overcommit. They respected conditions.
Then Nicholas Pooran walked in.
And the game changed.
Pooran’s 68 off 44 balls wasn’t blind hitting. It was placement, anticipation, and timing. The flick through midwicket. The lofted inside-out drive against Moeen. The way he waited for Rashid’s googly before launching.
Every shot felt intentional.
By over 15, England’s body language shifted.
Shimron Hetmyer’s late surge — 41 off 26 — delivered the knockout punch. One six off Archer sailed high into the Garware Pavilion, and the Mumbai crowd, even the neutral Indian fans, stood up.
196 felt 10 runs above par.
And in T20 cricket, that’s massive.

England’s Chase: Confidence Turns Into Collapse
England started fast.
Salt and Buttler raced to 38 in four overs.
Everything looked routine.
Then spin arrived.
Akeal Hosein struck first — Salt trapped LBW.
Rashid Khan’s over in the 8th broke the game open. Buttler gone. Brook gone. Two balls. Two breakthroughs.
The stadium atmosphere shifted.
Dot balls built pressure.
England tried to attack against the turn.
Mistake.
By the 14th over, the asking rate had climbed past 13.
Sam Curran fought — 43 off 30 — but wickets fell at the other end.
England all out: 166 in 19 overs.
West Indies spinners combined figures:
Hosein 2/28
Rashid Khan 3/31
Roston Chase 2/24
Seven wickets. Just 83 runs in 12 overs.
That is how you win in India.
