West Indies vs Nepal T20 World Cup 2026 Live Cricket Score Updates: The Shai Hope-led West Indies will take on Rohit Paudel’s Nepal in the T20 World Cup 2026 Group C fixture at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, in the first game of the triple-header.
West Indies are off to a terrific start in this edition, having convincingly beaten Scotland by 35 runs and England by 30 runs in their two league games in Kolkata and Mumbai, respectively. They sit on top of the points table with four points from two games. A win on Sunday would all but guarantee the two-time World Champions a spot in the Super 8.

Meanwhile, Nepal showed an inspired fight against England that saw the Himalayan nation lose the game by just four runs. But concerning signs emerged in the game against Italy, where Nepal were deflated and completely annihilated by the small European nation, which registered its maiden T20 World Cup win.

For Jaka Shaha, Tegendra Shahi and Jeevan Shahi, the journey to Mumbai for the T20 World Cup began in their villages in Nepal, with a decision that sounded simple but demanded commitment. “We came by train,” Jaka, hailing from the western border near Assam, said. “It took 30 to 36 hours.” All three laughed. The exact number hardly mattered anymore.
They travelled together on the same train, crossing borders and states, carrying little more than bags, tickets and belief. “It’s been ten days since we came from our village,” Jaka said, explaining that they had a few acquaintances in the city, with whom they were staying, not just for one game. The plan is to stay right through Nepal’s Group C campaign at the Wankhede Stadium. “We came for all four matches,” Jaka added firmly. “Yes, all four,” Tegendra, hailing from Dailekh district in the Karnali Pradesh province of Nepal repeated, nodding in agreement.
