    T20 WC: Not Worried About King's Poor Form, Happy To See Motie Do Well, Says Shai Hope After Big Win

    T20 World Cup: Even as two-time champions West Indies proved their credentials for a third title with a massive 107-run victory over Zimbabwe in their first Super 8 stage match in Mumbai, there were still areas of concern for the team management -- especially the poor form of opener Brandon King.

    King was out for nine off 12 balls after adding 17 runs for the first-wicket partnership against Zimbabwe at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. However, Shimron Hetmyer produced a masterclass in power-hitting, raining seven sixes and an equal number of fours in a majestic 34-ball 85, as his blitzkrieg helped West Indies romp to a 107-run victory over a totally outclassed Zimbabwe in a Group 1 match in the Super 8s stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

    Hetmyer unleashed fireworks at the Wankhede Stadium to help West Indies score a massive 254/6 in 20 overs -- the highest team score by any team in the T20 World Cup 2026 and the second-highest ever in the history of the T20 World Cup. They then bundled out Zimbabwe for 147 in 17.4 overs for a 107-run victory, which turned out to be the biggest in this event.
