Watch: Harry Brook celebrates 50 with massive six during ENG vs NEP T20 WC 2026 clash

The camera and media were on England’s white-ball captain, Harry Brook, heading into the T20 World Cup 2026. The spotlight was on him to put up a good show during their opening encounter against Nepal at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as he revealed his desire to carry the team in a good spirit both on and off the field, especially after the incident with the bouncer in Wellington. 

Harry Brook, batting at number five, in the seventh over of the innings with the wicket of Tom Banton, arrived in the middle and smashed his second delivery into the sweeper cover for a fine boundary. He used his power to club the leg spinner, Kusal Bhurtel, over the backward point region for a boundary. After the wicket of Jacob Bethell, the responsibility was on his shoulders.

Brook lofted the inside-out shot for a boundary against Sandeep Lamichhane while he backed his power and rocked back to loft the very next delivery over the long-on region for a massive six. On the second ball of the 14th over, he went on the back foot and clubbed the flat delivery over the same region for another six.

On the very first delivery of the 19th over, the England captain celebrated his half-century with a six that he punched on the back foot and pulled the delivery over the deep mid-wicket. But two balls later, he was dismissed for 53 runs in 32 balls with the help of four boundaries and three sixes.
