Zimbabwe National Cricket Team vs West Indies Cricket Team Match Scorecard: West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer struck a 19-ball half-century against Zimbabwe in a Super Eight match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, February 23, 2026. After Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and chose to bowl, West Indies lost two early wickets. Hetmyer then took charge, smashing four fours and five sixes to bring up his fifty off just 19 balls.

The 29-year-old broke his own record for the fastest T20 World Cup fifty by a West Indies batter.

Playing his 80th T20I, Hetmyer has scored nine half-centuries in the format, with a highest score of 85 not out.

Hetmyer also equalled the record for the fastest fifty in the ongoing tournament. Aiden Markram had earlier reached his half-century in 19 balls against New Zealand in the same edition.
