Nepal made history by defeating the two time world champions West Indies by 19 runs in their first T20 International.
Match Summary
West Indies won the toss. They choose to field first.
West Indies got off to a strong start, reducing Nepal to 12 for 2 in the fourth over thanks to early strikes from Akeal Hosein and Jason Holder.
Nepal’s captain Rohit Paudel (38) and Kushal Malla (30) steadied the ship with a solid 58-run partnership before debutant Navin Bidaisee took both of them out in quick succession.
Malla kicked things off with two sixes, while Dipendra Singh Airee (24) and Gulsan Jha contributed to keep the runs flowing.
Holder struck back for West Indies with three wickets in the 19th over, but some inconsistent catching from their side allowed Nepal to set a competitive total of 148(runs) for 8(wickets)
In response, West Indies started their chase poorly, with Kyle Mayers getting run out due to a sharp direct hit from Bhurtel.
Debutant Ackeem Auguste (15) tried to fight back with two sixes, but the Nepal spinners quickly took control.
Lalit Rajbanshi and Paudel bowled tightly in the middle overs, leaving West Indies struggling.
Airee made a fantastic fielding play, catching Keacy Carty short of his crease, and with Holder (5) going out quickly to Bhurtel, the Caribbean team’s chances dwindled.
Hosein and Fabian Allen managed to hit a few runs afterward, but Karan KC got rid of Hosein in the 19th over, pretty much sealing the deal.
Nepal managed to limit West Indies to 129 for nine.
Nepal marking their first win against a Full ICC Member nation.
Previously, Nepal had triumphed over Afghanistan in 2014, but at that time, Afghanistan was still an Associate Member.
The result on Saturday (September 27, 2025) represents Nepal’s biggest victory on the international stage, occurring during their first T20I match against the Caribbean team and their initial bilateral series with a Full Member.
