The T20 World Cup 2026 unleashed another riveting encounter as England took on Nepal at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. England managed to steal a win by just 4 runs. Batting first, England rode on Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook’s fifty and a late flourish from Will Jacks to post 184/7 in 20 overs. Jacks chipped in with 39* off 18.
But Nepal didn’t let the England bowlers take upper hand as the batting unit kept the side in the hunt. Opener Kushal Bhurtel
struck 29 off 17 while skipper Rohit Paudel got to 39 off 34. Dipendra Singh Airee too played a handy knock of 44 off 29.
Nepal needed 24 in the final two overs when Lokesh Bam got a boundary on the first ball. The batter then hit a boundary on the third delivery of the penultimate over to bring the equation down to 14 needed off 9. Nepal eventually needed 6 from one ball but Lokesh failed to make the connection and could only get one run.
