Nepal vs West Indies Highlights, T20 World Cup Match 25 | Feb 15: West Indies Secure Massive 9-Wicket Win over Nepal to Maintain World Cup Dominance

NEP vs WI 25th T20 World Cup Match Highlights: West Indies secured a commanding nine-wicket win over Nepal at Wankhede Stadium on February 15, 2026. Chasing 134, WI reached the target in just 15.2 overs to consolidate their position at the top of Group C, while Nepal remained fifth in the standings.

Nepal were asked to bat first after West Indies opted to field, and early breakthroughs defined the innings. Kushal Bhurtel fell in the first over, and by the end of the powerplay Nepal were 22/3, with Rohit Paudel and Aasif Sheikh also back in the pavilion. Matthew Forde’s disciplined spell and Jason Holder’s control ensured the pressure never eased.

Dipendra Singh Airee rebuilt with a measured 58 off 47 balls, anchoring the innings through the middle overs. However, wickets at regular intervals prevented Nepal from accelerating. Holder returned to remove Airee at 127 in the 20th over, finishing with 4/27 in his four overs. Sompal Kami’s unbeaten 26 off 15 lifted Nepal to 133/8, but the total lacked late-overs momentum.

In response, West Indies made their intent clear in the powerplay, racing to 44/1 inside six overs. Brandon King’s 22 provided early impetus before Nandan Yadav struck. From there, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer took control with a 91-run unbroken stand for the second wicket.

Hope paced the chase with 61 not out off 44 balls, reaching his fifty in 38 deliveries, while Hetmyer’s 46 not out off 32 ensured there were no late complications. Nepal’s bowlers struggled for breakthroughs, and the target was completed with 28 balls remaining, reflecting West Indies’ superiority in both phases of the match.
