Scotland (SCO) square off against Nepal (NEP) in match No. 33 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, February 17.
Richie Berrington and Co. have played three matches so far in the marquee event. Scotland started with a 35-run defeat against the West Indies. However, they bounced back with a 73-run victory against Italy. In their last game, they suffered a five-wicket loss to England. They are all but out of the race for the playoffs. However, if Italy can upset England on Monday, the Scots will be back in contention.
Meanwhile, Nepal started with a magnificent performance against England. They lost by just four runs but earned praise from fans and critics. Rohit Paudel’s men, however, suffered a disappointing 10-wicket defeat in their subsequent game against debutants Italy. This comprehensive defeat dented their spirit as they lost their third game against the West Indies by nine wickets. Nepal would look to finish their campaign on a high with a win against Scotland.
