WI vs NEP Match Prediction & Analysis
West Indies will take on Nepal in this Group C affair of the T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday, 15th February. The match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from 11 a.m. local time.
West Indies is the only undefeated team in Group C, having won both of their opening matches, including a 30-run victory over one of the favourites for the tournament, England. The Caribbean side has played well so far, particularly with the ball.
Nepal, meanwhile, is the only team that is still to open their account in the group, having lost both of the matches. The Rhinos came close against England, losing by only 4 runs vs England, but suffered a thumping 10-wicket defeat vs debutant Italy in their previous match. Batters have contributed well, but the bowlers have so far let down.

TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
West Indies are in top form after beating tournament favourites England by 30 runs in their last match. They posted 196 with the middle order stepping up, then spun England out for 166 thanks to a spin bowling masterclass from Gudakesh Motie (3/33) and Roston Chase, who took 2 wickets in his first game in the tournament. With that, West Indies is now the only undefeated team in Group C.
Sherfane Rutherford was the star batter for the Caribbean side in this match. Fresh off smashing 334 runs in 10 SA20 2026 matches for Pretoria Capitals, he's carried that fire into the World Cup, having scored 102 runs in 2 matches, including a blistering 76 runs off 41 balls at a strike rate of 180.95 vs England after early wickets fell.
Alongside him, Shimron Hetmyer has added more muscle power, having scored 87 runs in 2 matches, including a match-winning 64 vs Scotland in the opening game.
Captain Shai Hope has struggled, having just scored 19 runs in 2 matches despite strong 2025 form where he scored 556 runs in 19 T20I matches, and his opening partner Brandon King has scored only 36 runs, a big concern at the top for the side in Maroon.
Bowling has been the key to success in the T20 World Cup 2026 for the West Indies. Romario Shepherd has so far recorded tournament-best figures of 5/20 vs Scotland plus 1 wicket vs England, totalling 6 wickets.
Spin bowler Gudakesh Motie, meanwhile, was the star of the show with the ball vs England, taking 3 wickets (4 wickets total), while Roston Chase took 2 wickets in the game to help the West Indies win by 30 runs. Veteran all-rounder Jason Holder has taken 3 wickets in the tournament, all against Scotland. It's a great bowling attack, and we are yet to see the best of Shamar Joseph and Akeal Hosein.
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Brandon King, Shai Hope (C, WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie.

Nepal Preview
Nepal started the tournament strong, nearly upsetting England while chasing 185, albeit they eventually lost by 4 runs. In their second game, debutant Italy thumped the Rhinos. They were bowled out for 123 on a spin-friendly track, and the Azzurri chased the target in 12.4 overs as Nepal suffered a 10-wicket defeat. As a result, Nepal is now the only team without a point on the board in Group C.
For Nepal, several batters got good starts but couldn't convert them into big scores that eventually led to their downfall in the game. Aarif Sheikh top-scored with 27 runs off 24 balls, while captain Rohit Paudel made 23 runs off 14 balls.
Rohit has a good record vs WI, having scored 58 runs in the previous 3 matches, and opener Aasif Sheikh has scored 71 in 2 games against them. It is important for openers Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif to fire early.
The middle order is full of talented players like Dipendra Singh Airee, who has scored 61 runs in 2 matches in the tournament, including a brilliant 44 vs England.
It is the bowling department that needs sharpening. The duo of Nandan Yadav and Airee took 2 wickets each vs England, but they failed to grab a single wicket in their 10-run defeat vs Italy.
All eyes will be on Sandeep Lamichhane in this game. With the experience of 130 T20I wickets in 70 matches in his career so far, his leg-spin bowling could exploit Wankhede's surprise spin-friendly conditions.
Meanwhile, Karan KC (106 T20I wickets) and Dipendra Singh Airee (60 wickets) could play pivotal roles with a change of pace. Nepal have quality and if they can bowl tighter and bat deeper, they can cause an upset in this game.
Nepal Predicted Playing XI:
Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Rohit Paudel (C), Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, Lokesh Bam (WK), Gulshan Jha, Karan KC, Nandan Yadav, Sandeep Lamichhane, Lalit Rajbanshi.

Average Turn
The Wankhede Stadium pitch surface is renowned for being a classic T20 batting paradise. The surface is historically flat with true bounce, short boundaries and lightning-fast outfield. However, in this T20 World Cup, the surface has been quite the opposite. We have seen the highest average turn at Wankhede among all other venues in this World Cup, with an average 2.4° turn. Spin bowlers have taken 24 wickets in 4 matches.
In this tournament, the average first-inning score at the venue is 166. West Indies has scored the highest score of 196 runs in these games, while 123 runs by Nepal is the lowest total at the venue.
Toss: To Bowl
The Wankhede pitch has been playing quite differently to its characteristics, with an average turn of 2.4°. It will be sensible that the captain that wins the toss opt to bat first and score runs when the surface is at its best before the cracks start to appear for the 2nd inning. In the T20 World Cup 2026, 3 out of 4 matches have been won by the team batting first.
WI vs NEP
Winning Prediction
West Indies are clear favourites against Nepal in this Group C clash. They are unbeaten with explosive batting from Sherfane Rutherford and Shimron Hetmyer, plus a sharp bowling attack led by Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie brilliance. Nepal showed promise vs England but collapsed vs Italy. There are still areas of concern for the Rhinos. So back the West Indies to win this match.
