Nepal Vs West Indies LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Rhinos In Trouble Against WI; NEP 22/3 (6 Overs)

Rhinos will be disappointed with their batting display in the powerplay against the West Indies bowlers. However, don't take anything away from the WI bowlers, who have been immaculate with their lines and lengths, striking with three wickets.

NEP 22/3 (6 Overs)

Seems like the early ball is doing things and that has disturbed the Nepali rhythm here in Wankhede Stadium. Rhinos are two down inside six overs and the WI bowlers are on top. There have been couple of boundaries but that's about it.

NEP 17/2 (4 Overs)

Akeal Hosein has struck in the first over of the WI vs NEP match, going through Kushal Bhurtel's stumps quite easily. The ball just held it's line and went straight through Bhurtel's defence, castling his stumps.

NEP 2/1 (1 Over)

Nepal's national anthem, 'Sayaun Thunga Phulka' plays first followed by West Indies' Rally 'Round the West Indies'.

Nepal (Playing XI): Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh(w), Rohit Paudel(c), Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, Lokesh Bam, Gulsan Jha, Sompal Kami, Karan KC, Nandan Yadav, Sandeep Lamichhane

West Indies (Playing XI): Brandon King, Shai Hope(w/c), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph

West Indies have won the toss and have opted to field.

"It's a World Cup. Any team in this tournament can beat any other one on a day. So we've got to ensure we're still executing the way we need to. The planning must be there once again, not taking anyone lightly. We understand the importance of every single game, even though we gave ourselves a nice position to be in, but still we've got to ensure we plan it the same way, we execute it the same way against Nepal" 

Nepal lost to Italy and came close to beating England in their opening match. Another defeat today could see the Rhinos exit the tournament with a game still to play.
