Nepal (NEP) and Italy (ITA) are set to face off in Match No. 17 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, February 12. Both sides will be eager to register crucial points as the group stage intensifies. Nepal enter the contest with confidence despite falling short in their opener, while Italy will be determined to bounce back after a challenging start to their maiden T20 World Cup campaign on the global stage.

Led by Rohit Paudel, Nepal pushed England to the brink in a thrilling chase of 185, finishing agonisingly close at 180/6, with Sam Curran’s superb final over sealing England’s escape. Italy, meanwhile, endured a difficult outing against Scotland, losing skipper Wayne Madsen early to injury as they conceded 207/4 and were bowled out for 134. Despite the setback, Ben Manenti impressed with the bat, while Ali Hasan delivered a noteworthy effort with the ball for the Azzurri.
