  • NEP face ENG in ICC T20 World Cup 2026

  • Extreme heat could welcome players of both sides

  • Wankhede Stadium already played host to IND vs USA

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 enters day 2 with three matches lined up including Group C competitors England taking on Nepal, at the Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. This will be the first meeting between the two teams on the international stage.

Seeing how the pitch behaved yesterday during IND vs USA match, the track would again benefit the bowlers from either sides including spinners. Nepal's Sandeep Lamichhane could come into play today whereas Adil Rashid could trouble the Nepali batters.

England enter this fixture as favourites but Nepali players might want to give their English counterparts a strong fight, just like how Netherlands did yesterday with Pakistan.
