Hope Backs Brandon King Despite Lean Patch as West Indies Storm to 107-Run Win
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.
