[WATCH] T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav’s precise jump ends Roston Chase’s knockout in Kolkata

Bumrah bowled the 12th over of the match and struck twice to shift the momentum firmly in India’s favour. On the fifth ball of the over he delivered a smart, slower delivery that climbed sharply at Chase. The West Indian batsman took a shot early and eventually lobbed the ball off the fork of his bat. Suryakumar reacted immediately and sprinted to the right before stretching fully. He timed his dive to perfection and managed to get both hands on the ball and held on brilliantly, dismissing Chase for a well-made 40 off 25 balls.

Earlier in the same period, Bumrah had already removed the dangerous Shimron Hetmyer. The right-arm pacer threw a short delivery that arced over the left-hander, tempting Hetmyer into an ambitious slog down the line. The batsman got an inside edge and the ball passed cleanly to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. The referee raised his finger and replays confirmed the dismissal, with UltraEdge showing a clear spike. Hetmyer departed for a quickfire 27 off 12 balls.

India entered the competition after qualifying for the Super Eight stage with wins over Pakistan, USA, Namibia and Netherlands. After losing their first Super Eight match against South Africa, they bounced back strongly against Zimbabwe. With this clash effectively functioning as a virtual quarter-final, the stakes are extremely high.

West Indies, meanwhile, advanced to the Super Eight after beating England, Nepal, Italy and Scotland. They defeated Zimbabwe in their first Super Eight match but suffered a defeat to South Africa, making this encounter crucial in the race for a semi-final spot alongside South Africa, England and New Zealand.
