WI Vs ITA Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by India, with some matches being played in Sri Lanka. This match is the last Group C match.
The West Indies have been in some poor form in limited-overs cricket over the past few months. In October of last year, they lost an ODI series to Bangladesh before winning a T20I series against the same side. Then came losses in the ODI, T20I, and Test series to New Zealand, followed by defeats in the T20I series against Afghanistan and South Africa. The Afghans also beat the West Indies in their only warm-up match before the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The Windies comfortably defeated Scotland in their first match of this World Cup. Next was a match against England, which the West Indies won, thereby strengthening their chances of making it into the playoffs. They then cemented their place in the Super 8 with a resounding win over Nepal.
Meanwhile, Italy had an inspirational qualifying journey to the 2026 T20 World Cup. They topped their first European Qualifying Group, and then finished second in the final qualifying round, over World Cup regulars Scotland. Before coming into this competition, Italy defeated Ireland once in a three-match T20I series. In their two warm-up games, they beat Canada before demolishing the UAE.
Italy faced Scotland in their first match of the World Cup, in which they were utterly thrashed. The Italians then won their first game in the Cricket World Cup when they dominated Nepal. A narrow defeat against England in their third match meant they were out of the race for the Super 8.

WI Vs ITA Match 37 2026 T20 World Cup Eden Gardens Pitch Report
Historically, the pitches at Eden Gardens have been spin-friendly. And after a 2024 where the surfaces here became a lot more batting-friendly, it seems that the tracks at Kolkata have returned to their roots and are spinning a lot more once again. In the matches played here this season so far, spinners have ruled the roost, especially late in any inning. So, the key is to go big in the powerplay and not lose many wickets. The pitches at other stadiums in this tournament suggest that the tracks here will be quite balanced. The square boundaries here are about 66-68m in length, while the straight ones go as far as 78 away from the batter.
