It will be a chance for England to go for a big win over outsiders Nepal to start their Group C campaign of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup on a high on Sunday in Mumbai. This will be match #5 of the tournament and comes with our prediction of England scoring more than 62 runs in the powerplay.
England are two-time champions, having won the tournament in 2010 and 2022. Nepal are the associate nation, having played twice in the history of this competition, in 2014 and 2024.
After a disastrous Ashes tour that tested them on and off the field, England are out to win some matches and hearts. Harry Brook-led England have the likes of Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, and Phil Salt, apart from Brook himself, to lead their batting charge.
Their bowling will depend on Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer, as England look to build on the positives from their recent Sri Lanka tour for the T20Is.
Nepal are backed by passionate fans back home as they look to build on the 2024 World Cup performances, where they came within a run of upsetting South Africa.
Rohit Paudel leads the side, and his batting could be crucial. The Rhinos qualified by winning all six matches at the World Cup qualifier in September and have also defeated the West Indies 2-1.

Our England vs Nepal Prediction
If any team has the motive to do better in this tournament, it has to be England. After the loss in the Ashes and the off-field incidents, there’s so much riding on England’s performances in this tournament. Harry Brook has a mandate to win the confidence back and will look at his openers to give an aggressive platform. Nepal, on the other hand, will treat this as their chance to perform against established names.
This match could see England play aggressively in the first six overs, and our England vs Nepal prediction is England powerplay total over 62.5.
