West Indies posted a massive 197-run target for England courtesy of Sherfane Rutherford's half-century in the 15th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Wednesday.

Rutherford scored an unbeaten 76 off 42 balls, including seven sixes and two fours, while Roston Chase scored 34 and Jason Holder contributed 33, providing stability in the middle order.

Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell added quick runs to maintain the scoring rate.

Jofra Archer claimed one wicket for 48 runs in four overs, while Sam Curran took one wicket for 36 runs in three overs.
