ENG vs NEP Match 5 Prediction, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Match Preview And Expected Playing XI
ENG vs NEP, Match 5, Cricket Tips :England failed to defend their title in the T20 World Cup 2024, but Harry Brook and his men will be keen to add another title in their kitty. England are placed in Group C and will open their tournament with a game against Nepal. This contest will take place on Sunday at 3 PM IST at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The English team had a really good tour of Sri Lanka, and they performed as a unit in slow conditions. Nepal, on the other hand, have been in good form, but this will be a massive challenge for them. But they have a point to prove and can pose a handy challenge. ENG vs NEP: Match Details Date : February 08, 2026 (Sunday) Time : 3:00 PM IST Venue : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai ENG vs NEP Live Streaming Details In India, the Star Sports Network has the broadcasting rights for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. For the live streaming, fans can switch to the Jio Hotstar app or website. ENG vs NEP: Head-to-Head in T20Is Total Matches : 0 England : 0 Nepal : 0 No-Result : 0 ENG vs NEP: Ground Pitch Report Wankhede Stadium has always been a good batting venue. But the wicket in the IND vs USA game had good assistance for the bowlers. Something similar we can expect for this game as well. So, there will be enough help for the fast bowlers early on, and batting conditions will improve with time. ENG vs NEP: Possible XIs England : Phil Salt (wk), Jos Buttler, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (c), Will Jacks, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood Nepal : Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Rohit Paudel (c), Gulsan Jha, Sundeep Jora, Dipendra Singh Airee, Karan KC, Sandeep Lamichhane, Sompal Kami, Lalit Rajbanshi, Sompal Kami ENG vs NEP: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Phil Salt has been in incredible form, and the way he bats, he can take the game away in the powerplay. For Nepal, captain Rohit Kumar has been the top scorer and will be a big wicket in the game. Probable Best Bowler Jofra Archer, with his pace, can rattle Nepal because they have not played such pace early on. For Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane will be a key because of the variations he brings in. Today Match Prediction : Nepal don't have the experience of playing top-tier cricket, which can come into play when they will be under pressure. Hence, we predict England to win this game.

T20 World Cup: Suryakumar's 84 Not Out Takes India To Respectable 161/9 Vs USA
T20 World Cup: Skipper Suryakumar Yadav led from the front with a brilliant unbeaten 84 as India extricated themselves from a precarious 77/6 to post a fighting total of 161/9 against the USA in their opening match of Group A in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. After his skipper had opted to bowl first, Shadley van Schalkwyk made full use of the movement offered by the Wankhede pitch that was gripping and holding the ball. But Suryakumar Yadav showed his bowlers how to bat on such a wicket as he hammered 10 fours and four sixes in his 49-ball knock to help the defending champions post a respectable total. India scored 46/4 in the Power-play, 69/2 in the middle overs before closing it out with 46/3 in death against some fine bowling by the Americans, who, however, dropped at least five catches. Earlier, a three-wicket blitz by van Schalkwyk rocked India as the hosts slumped to 46/4 at the end of the six-over mandatory Power-play. Van Schalkwyk got into the act after Ali Khan had sent back the explosive opener Abhishek Sharma for a golden duck, claiming 3-13 in his first spell of three overs. Van Schalkwyk triggered the collapse when he got Ishan Kishan (20, 16b, 1x4, 2x6) with a slower ball in the sixth over and sent back Tilak Varma (25, 16b, 3x4, 1x6) with a short ball that got big on him, having him caught at midwicket. Shivam Dube followed off the next ball, a slower one, which was banged short and caught the bat as Dube tried to bail out. Saurabh Netravalkar grabbed a smart catch at short fine leg, as India slumped to a precarious 46/4. The right-arm medium pacer of South African descent bowled the right lengths, keeping it just short, and was not afraid to bang it as he exploited the early conditions at the Wankhede. Things could have been even worse for the two-time champions as the USA fielders put down four catches in all. Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma both had a life as did skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who was put down by his former Mumbai teammate Shubham Ranjane off his own bowling. However, the Indian batters could not capitalize on the sloppy fielding, as the good bowling got them out while they played some unwanted shots. The pressure was such that India went four overs without scoring a boundary across the Power-play. SKY broke the stranglehold with a boundary and kept the Indian hopes alive with cautious batting. But things got worse as Rinku Singh (6 off 14) and Hardik Pandya (5 off 6) fell in quick succession, both trying to plant the spinners into the stands -- Rinku fell while trying to hit a fullish delivery from Mohammad Mohsin while Pandya slashed a short one outside off for an easy catch to Saiteja Mukkamalla as India slumped to 77/6 in 13th over. Surya and his deputy, Axar Patel, kept the Indians afloat as they built a partnership to take the team to a fighting total. They hammered 21 runs off the 16th over bowled by another local lad turned US cricketer, Saurabh Netravalkar. Patel hammered the first two balls for superb boundaries while Surya ended the most-expensive over of the innings with a four and six, powering the ball to the fence as he usually does. Their 41-run partnership off 24 balls came to an end when Axar fell for 14, caught at the fence as he tried to hit out at a back-of-length delivery outside off from Harmeet Singh that spun back and left him cramped. Surya and his deputy, Axar Patel, kept the Indians afloat as they built a partnership to take the team to a fighting total. They hammered 21 runs off the 16th over bowled by another local lad turned US cricketer, Saurabh Netravalkar.

India Captain Admits 'There Will Be Nerves' At Home T20 World Cup
India captain Suryakumar Yadav admitted Friday there will be nerves when India open their T20 World Cup campaign in front of more than 30,000 fanatical home supporters in Mumbai, but vowed to give them entertainment. The co-hosts start their Group A campaign against the United States at a packed Wankhede stadium on Saturday night. Suryakumar is only too aware that India, the top-ranked T20 team in the world, are overwhelming favourites to retain their title. But he said his team will try to feed off the positive vibes from a billion-plus home supporters and not be crushed by the huge weight of expectation. When you're playing at home there is always an added pressure. I'm not running away from the fact, Suryakumar told reporters ahead of India's final training session on Friday. To be honest, there will be nerves, there will be pressure, but if you see the positive side of it, there'll be a lot of cheer around. There's so many people coming to watch in the stadiums, I've told my boys the same thing, 30,000-35,000 people coming and so many watching at home. Let's give them a good time. Let's give them entertainment. India know that their opening opponents, the United States, caused the biggest upset of the 2024 tournament when they beat Pakistan in a super over, and Suryakumar said no team would be taken lightly. I don't see any weak teams in the competition. All 20 teams are very much capable of playing some good cricket, he said. In this format, one or two batters can make a difference. Or it takes one or two bowlers to have a good 24 balls on any given day. So we will have to play the same way as we've been playing against all the teams. The USA's middle order batsman Sanjay Krishnamurthi said it was an honour to play the opening match against the hosts in Mumbai. I think for all Americans, this is a special moment for our country, said the Oregon-born 22-year-old. To be able to come here and play cricket in one of the most iconic stadiums against one of the best teams in the world, I think it's going to inspire a future generation of cricketers to rise through the ranks in American cricket. In a blow to Suryakumar's plans, India fast bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana was ruled out of the tournament late Friday after suffering a knee injury in a warm-up match two days before. Following consultations with a specialist and subsequent scans, the BCCI medical team deemed him unfit to participate in the tournament, India said. The 24-year-old will be replaced by experienced fast bowler Mohammad Siraj.
