West Indies are scheduled to play Nepal in Match 25 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday, February 15, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. West Indies will be aiming to secure a spot in the Super Eight, while Nepal are still awaiting their first victory in the tournament.
West Indies have been impressive in this edition. They started with a solid win over Scotland and then defeated England by 30 runs. In the previous match, Sherfane Rutherford made a brilliant unbeaten innings to help the team score a high total. The bowlers also bowled well, with Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase taking key wickets. A win here would confirm their place in the next round.
Nepal, on the other hand, had a tough campaign so far. After losing a close match to England, they suffered a heavy defeat against Italy. In their last game, they were bowled out for just 123 runs, with no batter managing a big score. Their bowling attack also failed to make an impact. Nepal will need a much better all-round performance to challenge a strong West Indies side.
