WI vs NEP match preview:
West Indies will take on Nepal for the fourth time in T20Is in the twenty-fifth match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday, February 15, 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Moreover, this Group C match will start at 11am IST and West Indies will be looking to consolidate their hold on a Super 8 spot. Meanwhile, Nepal will look to bounce back strongly after a crushing defeat. The Wankhede surface usually rewards aggressive strokeplay with real bounce and fast outfield speed. Therefore, West Indies are likely to attack the short boundaries early and push for a huge score in the morning conditions.
Your daily dose of cricket!
West Indies currently top the Group C points table with four points and a strong net run rate of +1,625 after winning both their opening matches. In contrast, Nepal remain at the bottom in fifth place with zero points from two matches, and they are also behind Italy in terms of net run rate. Moreover, West Indies entered this match having defeated England by 30 runs and successfully defended a challenging total with disciplined bowling. However, Nepal suffered a heavy ten-wicket defeat against Italy where their batting collapsed and their bowlers failed to take a single wicket during the chase. Consequently, Nepal will need a complete turnaround to compete.
Sherfane Rutherford played a decisive role against England by smashing an unbeaten 76 off 42 balls to push West Indies to 196. Furthermore, Gudakesh Motie tore through the English middle order with figures of 3 for 26, while Roston Chase strengthened the attack with two wickets. On the other hand, Nepal had a tough time against Italy after being bowled out for 123 despite Aarif Sheikh scoring 27 and captain Rohit Paudel adding 23.
Interestingly, Nepal is still leading 2-1 in three T20Is, which gives them some confidence. Nevertheless, West Indies now have a full line-up, which is why they will go into this match as clear favourites.
