The third and final T20I of the Nepal vs West Indies series will be played at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The match begins under lights with both teams eager to end the series on a high note. Fans can expect a thrilling contest given the competitive nature of the first two games.

 

Nepal has been in impressive form, showcasing its growing maturity in T20 cricket. Skipper Rohit Paudel has led from the front with composed batting and sharp field placements. The side is fueled by youngsters like Kushal Bhurtel and Gulsan Jha, who continue to provide spark with bat and ball.

 

West Indies, though inconsistent, remain a dangerous side with plenty of match-winners. Captain Akeal Hosein’s leadership has emphasized spin control, but the team’s batting collapses have hurt them.

Nepal vs West Indies Team Preview & Squads

 

Nepal

 

Rohit Paudel has grown into a reliable captain who balances caution with aggression. His ability to stabilise the innings under pressure is crucial for Nepal. He also encourages his younger teammates to play with freedom.

 

NEP batting is built around Rohit Paudel, Aasif Sheikh, and Kushal Malla. While they may not always post towering totals, their middle order has shown resilience. Finishing power from Dipendra Singh Airee and Gulsan Jha makes them dangerous in the death overs.

 

Bowling has been Nepal’s biggest strength, with Sandeep Lamichhane leading the spin attack. Seamers like Karan KC and Sompal Kami provide early breakthroughs. The mix of spin and pace has allowed Nepal to defend modest totals effectively.

 

In the 1st T20I at Sharjah on September 27, 2025, NEP scored 148/8 in their 20 overs. Their bowlers then put on a disciplined display to restrict West Indies to 129/9. Sandeep Lamichhane and Karan KC played pivotal roles with the ball. Nepal secured a famous 19-run victory to go 1–0 up in the series.

West Indies

 

Akeal Hosein, a crafty left-arm spinner, has been tasked with guiding a transitional West Indies squad. His calm temperament is a stabilising factor in the team. However, he must inspire his batters to support the bowlers.

 

The WI batting lineup has explosive players like Kyle Mayers and Keacy Carty. However, inconsistency has plagued their efforts, leading to collapses. Jewel Andrew and Ackeem Auguste provide youthful promise but need to convert starts.

 

The Caribbean attack boasts experienced names like Jason Holder and Obed McCoy. Alongside Hosein and Fabian Allen, they can strangle opponents with spin and pace combinations. Yet, lack of discipline at the death overs has cost them matches.

 

In the 1st T20I, WI failed to chase down 149 despite a good start. They ended with 129/9 in 20 overs, falling short by 19 runs. Jason Holder’s all-round effort wasn’t enough to prevent defeat. Their batters’ inability to handle Nepal’s spin attack proved decisive.

NEP vs WI Outfield Report

 

The Sharjah pitch has been on the slower side, offering assistance to spinners while making stroke play tricky. Batsmen who settle in can score freely, but reckless hitting often leads to collapses. A target of around 150–160 remains competitive here.

 

The weather in Sharjah is expected to be clear with minimal chances of rain. Temperatures will hover around 33–35°C in the evening. 

 

Historically, the Sharjah surface has produced both low and mid-scoring encounters. First-innings scores usually range between 140–165 runs. Chasing anything above 170 becomes extremely difficult under lights.
