No more India vs Pakistan rivalry?

The growth of Nepal Cricket is extraordinary, as the cricketing world has witnessed an unprecedented interest in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026, which is about to commence. The demand for tickets for their games in the event has been crazy, which has questioned the rivalry between the India and Pakistan sides. 

Apart from the host India, Nepal has recorded the highest ticket sales for the upcoming tournament, which has signaled a wave of support for the travelers into the stadium. The biggest excitement has been around the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which will serve as the primary venue for the national team in the group stage of the competition.

Nepal will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against England in Mumbai on February 08 before locking horns with Italy at the same ground on February 12, which will be an afternoon fixture, making it essential for their spinners to make a mark in the game with the dry ball.

The third group stage encounter for Nepal will be against the West Indies at the same venue. They currently own the home series against this opposition in Sharjah, which will be a massive boost for the players heading into the T20 World Cup, as this game will be a morning game, making it important for the Pacers to use the new ball.

The last group-stage encounter for Nepal will be against Scotland at the same venue on February 17, which will be an evening game. It will be interesting to see their progress in the campaign.
