India and the West Indies are facing each other in a World Cup for the first time after their famous 2016 T20 World Cup semifinal clash, and the pressure is intense. Both teams have strong batting units, but Bavuma feels the real difference is in bowling and backed India to make it to the semifinals.

Varun Chakravarthy’s Eden Gardens record
The pitch at Eden Gardens could also play a big role in the outcome of the India vs West Indies match. Bavuma said that when South Africa played a Test match last year at this venue, the pitch helped spinners, but he does not expect extreme turn in this Super 8 clash.
Even in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026, Varun is India’s leading wicket taker with 11 wickets in six matches at an average of 13.09 and an economy of 7.20. But in the Super 8 stage, his form has dipped. He conceded 47 runs in four overs against South Africa and 35 runs against Zimbabwe.
Bavuma backs India’s strong bowling attack over West Indies power hitters
Bavuma said, “Look, when we played there, the test match, I mean, it spun quite a lot. So, obviously, you do not expect it to play like that. But obviously, there is that ability for it to turn. I mean, India has that strength, right? Chakravarthy is there waiting. The West Indies has a couple of left-handers (in-form Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford). So maybe you could see that.”
At the end, the Proteas star said that the defending champions can outclass the West Indies to grab that final semifinal spot, with England, South Africa, and New Zealand already making the cut. He signed off by saying, “I think India as well; you know, you kind of always add an extra 20 runs to their score. So, as exciting as it is, I do see India going through to the semifinals.”
