Dominance defined West Indies’ 9-wicket demolition of Nepal in T20 World Cup 2026 at Wankhede Stadium, marking their third consecutive Group C victory and Super 8 berth. Shai Hope’s captain’s knock of 61 not out (44 balls: 5×4, 3×6) propelled a comfortable chase of 134 in 15.2 overs, extinguishing Nepal’s faint hopes with their third loss on the trot.
Nepal, batting first post-toss loss, lost Bhurtel early for 1, slumping to 73/6. Airee’s resolute 58 (47 balls, 3×6, 3×4) and Kami’s 26* (15 balls) yielded a 54-run recovery, but 133/8 proved inadequate. Holder starred with 4/27; Hosein, Forde, Joseph, and Chase took one each.
West Indies’ reply flowed seamlessly: King’s 22 (17 balls, 4×4) set the tone with Hope, adding 43 quickly. Hetmyer’s explosive 46* (32 balls, 6 boundaries) forged an 91-run partnership, overwhelming Nepal’s attack where Yadav snared King.
Nepal conclude versus Scotland February 17; West Indies meet Italy the 19th. This emphatic win showcases West Indies’ batting depth and bowling bite, priming them for Super 8 glory.
