They showed glimpses of their quality with a dominant 73-run win over Italy, but narrow losses to heavyweights England and the West Indies left them just outside the qualification bracket. Nepal, backed by their incredible and loud fanbase, have had a tournament of extreme highs and lows. They pushed England to the absolute limit in a 4-run thriller that captured hearts globally, only to suffer a shocking 10-wicket collapse against Italy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sco-vs-nep-t20-world-cup-2026-match-details\"><strong>SCO vs NEP, T20 World Cup 2026: Match Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Date and Time:<\/strong> February 17; 07:00 pm IST \/ 1:30 pm GMT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sco-vs-nep-head-to-head-record\"><strong>SCO vs NEP, Head-to-Head Record<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Matches played:<\/strong> 3 | <strong>Scotland won:<\/strong> 2 | <strong>Nepal won:<\/strong> 1<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wankhede-stadium-pitch-report\"><strong>Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is renowned for its vibrant wicket, one that consistently produces a compelling battle between bat and ball. At the start of an innings, a hint of grass and the surface\u2019s natural carry allow pacers to extract movement with the new ball, placing a premium on the powerplay for both teams. As the match progresses, the track generally evens out and becomes increasingly conducive to batting. True bounce and comparatively short boundaries invite aggressive stroke-making, often paving the way for high totals where clean timing is rewarded. Historically, chasing sides have enjoyed success at this venue, elevating the importance of the toss, with captains frequently opting to bowl first. That said, recent fixtures suggest a more even contest, as the pitch has also begun to offer some grip and turn for spinners in the latter stages.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"squads\"><strong>Squads<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nepal:<\/strong> Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Rohit Paudel (c), Dipendra Singh Airee, Aarif Sheikh, Lokesh Bam, Gulsan Jha, Karan KC, Nandan Yadav, <a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/player\/1080\/sandeep-lamichhane\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sandeep Lamichhane<\/strong><\/a>, Sher Malla, Basir Ahamad, Sundeep Jora, Lalit Rajbanshi, Sompal Kami<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scotland:<\/strong>\u00a0Mark Watt, Michael Jones, Brandon McMullen, Richie Berrington (c), Tom Bruce, Matthew Cross (wk), Oliver Davidson, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Zainullah Ihsan, Safyaan Sharif, George Munsey, Brad Wheal, Finlay McCreath, Brad Currie<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also WATCH:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/2026\/02\/watch-frustrated-pakistan-fans-vandalise-tv-screen-after-humiliating-loss-against-india-in-t20-world-cup-2026\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Frustrated Pakistan fans vandalise TV screen after humiliating loss against India in T20 World Cup 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sco-vs-nep-t20-world-cup-2026-todays-match-prediction\"><strong>SCO vs NEP, T20 World Cup 2026: Today\u2019s Match Prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Case 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scotland wins the toss and bowls first<\/li>\n<li>Nepal\u2019s powerplay score: 30-40<\/li>\n<li>Nepal\u2019s total score: 150-160<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Case 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nepal wins the toss and bowls first<\/li>\n<li>Scotland\u2019s powerplay score: 40-50<\/li>\n<li>Scotland\u2019s total score: 170-180<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Match result: Team bowling first to win the contest.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/2026\/02\/azmatullah-omarzais-all-round-heroics-inspires-afghanistan-to-a-thrilling-victory-against-uae-in-t20-world-cup-2026\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Azmatullah Omarzai\u2019s all round heroics inspires Afghanistan to a thrilling victory against UAE in T20 World Cup 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/2026\/02\/sco-vs-nep-t20-world-cup-2026-match-prediction-who-will-win-todays-game-between-scotland-and-nepal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 enter its business end, Group C brings a dead rubber between Scotland and\u00a0Nepal.
