While Dipendra Singh Airee: West Indies pacer Matthew Forde said he sensed assistance in the surface from the moment he arrived at the venue, a reading that proved decisive as the Caribbean side restricted Nepal to 133/8 in their Group C fixture of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Forde delivered one of the most economical spells of the innings, finishing with 1/10 from his four overs, including a wicket-maiden during a crippling powerplay that left Nepal at 22/3 after six overs, the lowest powerplay total of the tournament.

Reflecting on the conditions, Forde revealed that the early signs were evident even before the first ball was bowled.
