Nepal Rout West Indies to Clinch T20I Series With Record 90-Run Win

The 2–0 lead is Nepal’s first bilateral series victory over a full ICC member, achieved in their inaugural T20I series against such opposition.

Overview

  • Nepal posted 173 for 6 in Sharjah before bowling West Indies out for 83 to seal the three-match series with a game to spare.
  • Aasif Sheikh carried his bat for 68 not out and Sundeep Jora smashed 63 as the pair added a 100-run fourth‑wicket stand.
  • Medium pacer Mohammad Aadil Alam took 4 for 24 and Kushal Bhurtel claimed 3 for 16 as West Indies folded in 17.1 overs.
  • West Indies’ 83 is the lowest T20I total by a full-member side against an associate, and the 90-run margin is the biggest associate win over a full member.
  • Nepal again left out Sandeep Lamichhane, with coach Stuart Law citing personal issues as reports pointed to a sponsorship dispute, while a rotated West Indies squad missed several regulars ahead of their Test tour of India.
