The West Indies have enjoyed an impressive start to their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign. The 2016 champions kicked off with a dominant 35-run win over Scotland and continued their strong run with a 30-run victory against two-time champions England. With confidence high, Shai Hope’s men will look to maintain their winning momentum and seal qualification with a strong showing.
Nepal, on the other hand, are still looking for their first win of the tournament. They showed great fighting spirit against England in their opener, losing by just four runs, but struggled badly in their second match against Italy, where they suffered a heavy 10-wicket defeat. Rohit Paudel’s side will now be desperate to get their campaign back on track and keep their hopes alive.
Despite being considered underdogs, Nepal have a surprising edge in the head-to-head record, winning two of their three meetings against the West Indies. Recent form also shows Nepal winning three of their last five matches, while the West Indies have bounced back strongly with three wins after two losses.
With both teams having plenty to play for, the clash at Wankhede promises to be an exciting contest between a confident West Indies side and a determined Nepal team looking to cause an upset.
