England begin their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a Group C fixture against Nepal on Sunday, February 8. The two-time champions will be taking on the resilient Nepalese at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Led by Harry Brook, England are entering the tournament in high spirits after pulling off a magnificent 3-0 whitewash in the T20Is against Sri Lanka recently.
England should also enjoy the true nature of the conditions of the Wankhede, with their strong hitters like Brook, Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Ben Duckett and Tom Banton raring to go. For Nepal, it will be an opportunity to leave their mark against a formidable opposition.
Led by Rohit Paudel, Nepal will also take some confidence from their pair of wins in the warm-up matches against
UAE and Canada. It will, however, take a magical performance for them to upset the Englishmen.
