ICC T20 World Cup: West Indies would look to seal their top spot in Group C and register a hat-trick of wins when they face minnows Nepal at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. The crucial match will start at 11:00 AM.
On the other hand, Nepal would be hoping to end their quest for the first World Cup win and make a comeback after back-to-back losses in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026.
West Indies started their tournament on a high note with a 35-run win against Scotland. The 2016 champions continued the momentum in their next match, when they beat two-time champions England by 30 runs.
The Nepal cricket team posed a great challenge to England in their opening match before falling short narrowly by just 4 runs. However, Rohit Poudel's team went off the track in the next match against Italy, where they suffered a crushing 10-wicket loss. Now they will be hoping to put their campaign back on the rails against the West Indies.
