Nepal face a well-oiled England in World Cup opener at Wankhede

Two years after a one-run loss to South Africa in the previous World Cup, the Rhinos face a ruthless England team that is not taking the Associate challenge lightly.

Nepal are taking on England in their first match of the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India today. Having won the tournament twice before, England are the clear favourites. But England’s captain Harry Brook has hinted that they were not taking Nepal’s challenge lightly.
