In their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 encounter at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India, England posted a competitive total of 184/7 in their 20 overs, setting Nepal a challenging target of 185 runs to win.
England won the toss and elected to bat first, aiming to capitalize on batting-friendly conditions and put pressure on the Nepalese chase. After a modest start with early losses, England’s middle and lower order rallied with crucial contributions, pushing the total past the 180-run mark.
The target presents a stern test for Nepal, who are competing in their third T20 World Cup and looking to cause an upset against one of the tournament’s stronger sides. With passionate support in the crowd and spinners expected to play a key role in the middle overs, Nepal will need a spirited batting performance to chase down England’s total.
As the match progresses, attention turns to how Nepal’s batsmen respond under pressure and whether they can rewrite the script in what would be a historic victory for the Asian side.
