MUSCAT : Nepal pulled off one of the biggest surprises of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 with a stunning seven-wicket victory, more than Scotland’s total in the Group C match.
Dipendra Singh Airi led the way with an unbeaten half-century and led Nepal to victory with controlled aggression and tactical discipline. This victory will strengthen Nepal’s performance and ensure their qualification to the Super Eight stage, swinging the momentum of the tournament.
After a competitive performance early in the match, Scotland struggled to form meaningful partnerships under pressure and was unable to contain the depth of Nepal’s batsmen.
