historic! nepal crush west indies by 90 runs to seal maiden t20 series win
Associate nation stuns full-member West Indies in emphatic style, clinching series with match to spare
In a landmark moment for Nepalese cricket, Nepal shook the cricketing world by defeating the West Indies by 90 runs in the second T20 International at Sharjah, thereby clinching their first ever bilateral T20 series win over a full ICC member. This dominant performance came in what was their second consecutive win over West Indies in the series, making the margin of victory the largest ever for an Associate side over a full member in men’s T20Is.
Leading the charge was a superb century partnership from Aasif Sheikh (68) and Sundeep Jora (63), who stitched together a match winning 100 + run stand. In the bowling department, Mohammad Aadil Alam wreaked havoc with figures of 4 for 24 and helped in dismantling the West Indies innings, which was bowled out for just 83. This victory not only signaled Nepal’s rise in international cricket but also sent a strong message about the growing competitiveness of Associate nations on the global stage.
