Preview

In the 5th T20 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, England (ENG) is set to face Nepal (NEP). England has been one of the most consistent teams in T20 World Cup history. They have reached the semi-finals or finals in each of the last four editions, which highlights their dominance and adaptability in the T20 format. Under the captaincy of Harry Brook, England will once again enter the tournament as one of the strongest contenders for the title.

On the other hand, this will be Nepal’s third appearance in the T20 World Cup. In their previous two campaigns, they were unable to progress beyond the group stage, showing that they still struggle against top-tier teams.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is known to be a batting-friendly surface. With short boundaries and a flat surface, batters can play their shots freely as the ball comes nicely onto the bat. Fast bowlers may find some movement in the early overs, but conditions generally favour batting as the match progresses. If England bat first, they will be well placed to post a high total.
