NEW DELHI: India’s batting has finally come alive, but questions remain over their bowling as they prepare to face a formidable West Indies in a virtual quarterfinal of the T20 World Cup on Sunday. With West Indies’ loss to South Africa and India’s commanding win over Zimbabwe, this Group 1 Super Eights clash has become a do-or-die battle, raising the stakes at the Eden Gardens.
The winner will advance to the second semifinal against England on March 5 in Mumbai.
India’s resurgence with the bat against Zimbabwe was both timely and impressive. In a reshuffled line-up, with Sanju Samson returning to the top order, all six top-order batters contributed in harmony.
Samson’s 24 may not stand out on paper, but his intent and ability to lift the tempo early gave India a flying start. That approach allowed Abhishek Sharma, who had struggled in the tournament with a previous best of 15 following a hat-trick of ducks, to find his rhythm.
Sharma responded emphatically with a half-century, while Tilak Varma thrived in his new No.6 role, crafting an unbeaten 16-ball 44 with intent and composure.
India ticked all the boxes with the bat, posting 256/4, the highest total of this T20 World Cup. Yet, despite the batting fireworks, concerns remain as they head into a high-octane clash at Eden Gardens.
