The West Indies and Nepal are set to face off in Match 25 of the T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday, February 15 at the Wankhede Stadium. The contest is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM IST, promising an early Group C showdown.

The West Indies, sitting atop Group C with two wins from as many games, including a marvelous victory over England, will look to maintain their winning momentum. Nepal, who came agonizingly close to beating England, are still searching for their first tournament victory and will be eager to open their account against a formidable Caribbean side.

WI vs NEP: Key Player Battles

Dipendra Singh Airee vs Gudakesh Motie

The middle-overs showdown between Nepal’s key all-rounder Dipendra Singh Airee and West Indies’ match-winner Gudakesh Motie promises crucial sparks. Motie, the hero of West Indies’ last win against England, will look to dominate with his spin. Nepal will rely on Airee, who has skillfully negotiated spinners so far, to counter Motie and keep his team in the game.

Aasif Sheikh vs Akeal Hosein

The early powerplay duel between Nepal’s keeper-opener Aasif Sheikh and West Indies’ left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein could prove decisive. Although Sheikh has had a quiet tournament so far, he can be a lethal weapon, having previously attacked Hosein with a strike rate of 180 without being dismissed as Nepal will need that early momentum to put pressure on the Caribbean side.

Shimron Hetmyer vs Sandeep Lamichhane

Another key battle that could impact the West Indies vs Nepal fixture is between West Indies’ Shimron Hetmyer and Nepal’s spin maestro Sandeep Lamichhane. For the Men in Maroon to continue their batting dominance, Hetmyer, as the only left-hander in the top-order, will need to negotiate Lamichhane’s spin threat effectively to anchor the innings and set the tone for his team.

West Indies vs Nepal Toss Prediction

The Wankhede Stadium has offered a balanced surface so far in this T20 World Cup, with good bounce allowing batters to play their shots freely while also bringing spinners into the contest as the ball grips and turns. Although chasing has not always been straightforward in this tournament, the pitch tends to remain consistent, so the captain winning the toss could still prefer to bowl first and chase.

WI vs NEP Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win Match 25?

The Nepal head into this clash as underdogs but cannot be ruled out, having pushed England to the brink earlier in the tournament. They have also beaten West Indies in a bilateral series in the past, proving they can challenge bigger sides on their day.

However, the current West Indies side looks in very good touch, sitting atop the group and adapting impressively to Indian conditions. With their power-packed batting and disciplined spin attack clicking at the right time, the Caribbean side should have enough quality to get the better of Nepal.
