WIN!! The West Indies are through to the Super 8. A clinical performance by the West Indies, with the ball and bat. Jason Holder's four-fer saw Nepal manage mere 133, while Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer ensured the Windies reached their target with 4 overs to spare. Hope scored a solid half-century, while Hetmyer remained unbeaten on 46.Â
Both batters are closing in on respective fifties, as the West Indies are inches away from notching their third successive win in the competition.Â

The fall of a wicket barely dented the West Indies' mindset, with Shimron Hetmyer taking on a more aggressive role than Brandon King. Hetmyer has already added 36 runs, Shai Hope, where the former has contributed 27 off 20. The match is slipping away from the hand of Nepal.
OUT! Nandan Yadav manages to provide Nepal's first breakthrough. Brandon King miscued his drive, that went straight into the hands of mid-on fielder. This was a solid start for the West Indies, with Brandon King and Shai Hope adding 43 runs in merely 33 balls.Â

West Indies will hope both Brandon King and captain Shai Hope provide their side with a brisk start, with Nepal putting up a paltry score. Both have been in good-touch off-late but are yet to shine in this competition. Important for Nepal to pick wickets, or else West Indies will run away with the match.Â

A disappointing show by Nepal comes to an end. Thanks to Dipendra Singh Airee's 58, Nepal managed to go past the 120-run mark, where the second-best run-getter was Sompal Kami with 26*. For the West Indies, Jason Holder was the pick of the bowlers, claiming four wickets.Â

West Indies National Cricket Team vs Nepal National Cricket Team Live Score Updates: ICC Menâs T20 World Cup 2026 moves to Mumbaiâs iconic Wankhede Stadium for Match 25, as a dominant West Indies side prepares to take on Nepal. Scheduled for Sunday, 15 February, the fixture holds high stakes for both nations: a win for the Caribbean side would virtually guarantee their progression to the Super 8 stage, while Nepal are fighting to keep their tournament hopes alive after a difficult start. ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table With Net Run-Rate (NRR).
West Indies currently sit at the top of Group C with four points from two matches, following convincing victories over Scotland and England. Nepal, conversely, are searching for their first points after a narrow loss to England and a heavy defeat against Italy.
The West Indies have rediscovered the flair that made them two-time world champions. Their middle order, spearheaded by Sherfane Rutherford, who struck a match-winning 76* against England, has provided the stability their power-hitters need to flourish. With a healthy Net Run Rate of +1.625, they are currently the favourites to finish as group leaders. ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Full Schedule, Free PDF Download Online.
Nepalâs campaign has been a story of missed opportunities. After pushing England to the limit in their opener, they suffered a deflating 10-wicket loss to debutants Italy. Captain Rohit Paudel, who has been battling a fever, is expected to lead the side in this must-win encounter.
The Wankhede pitch, traditionally a batter's paradise, has shown a tendency to grip for spinners in recent matches of this tournament. This could play into the hands of Nepalâs star leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, who will be tasked with containing the explosive Caribbean batting unit.
West Indies, however, possess a balanced attack. Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie has been exceptional, taking three wickets against England, while the pace of Shamar Joseph and the experience of Jason Holder provide threats in all phases of the game.
While West Indies are the clear favourites, they will be wary of Nepalâs potential to cause an upset. In their most recent bilateral series in September 2025, Nepal famously defeated the West Indies 2-1 in a three-match T20I series in the UAE. The "Rhinos" will be hoping to channel that history to stun the table-toppers once again.
