    T20 WC: Nepal Pull Things Back To Restrict Scotland To 170/7 After Jones's Fifty

    By IANS News February 17, 2026 • 20:58 PM View: 179
    T20 World Cup: Michael Jones hammered a superb 71 to give Scotland a great start, but Nepal rode on a three-wicket burst by Sompal Kami to restrict them to 170/7 in 20 overs in Match 33 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

    Jones struck eight fours and two sixes in his 45-ball knock and shared vital partnerships -- 80 for the opening wicket with George Munsey, and 52 for the second with Brandon McMullum as Scotland were cruising towards a score in excess of 180, as their bowlers failed to take advantage of opting to bowl first.

    But Sompal Kami led their brilliant fightback with a double-strike in the 16th over and the team from the Himalayas, which had impressed with a magical performance against England in their opening match, bounced back in the last five overs and set themselves up for their first win in the 2026 edition of the competition.
