The West Indies defeated Scotland by 35 runs in their opening Group C match of the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Saturday.
The victory was anchored by a record-breaking performance from Shimron Hetmyer, who smashed 64 runs off 36 balls, including the fastest T20 World Cup half-century by a West Indian (reaching 50 in just 22 balls).
The WI end their inning on 182 for 5.
In the second innings, Romario Shepherd produced a decisive spell, taking a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul (5/20) to bowl Scotland out for 147.
The Caribbean side will take on England on February 11. (Detailed report in subsequent post)
