The West Indies cricket team will face a potentially tricky contest against Nepal national cricket team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 as they aim to secure the top spot in Group C. The fixture is being closely watched given Nepal’s growing reputation as a competitive force in the shortest format of the game.
West Indies, two-time T20 world champions, enter the tournament with a blend of experienced campaigners and dynamic young talent. Known for their explosive batting and depth in power-hitting, the Caribbean side will be seeking consistency after mixed performances in recent global tournaments. Finishing atop the group would ensure a more favourable path in the knockout stages.
Nepal, meanwhile, have emerged as one of the most rapidly improving associate nations in international cricket. Their disciplined bowling attack and fearless approach with the bat have unsettled higher-ranked teams in recent competitions. Facing a heavyweight like West Indies offers Nepal an opportunity to reinforce their credentials on the global stage.
