Mumbai, Feb 9: Nepal fell narrowly short of a sensational upset as England won by just 4 runs in their T20 World Cup 2026 Group C match in Mumbai on Sunday. Half-centuries by Jacob Bethell (55 off 35) and captain Harry Brook (53 off 32) and a fiery cameo by Will Jacks (39 off 18) helped England post a respectable score of 184/7 in 20 overs.
Nepal took the chase of 185 right down to the wire, thanks to contributions by Kushal Bhurtel (29 off 17), Rohit Paudel (39 off 34), Dipendra Singh Airee (44 off 29) and Lokesh Bam (39 off 20). However, England pacer Sam Curran held his nerve to defend 10 runs in the last over.
