England will start their 2026 T20 World Cup campaign against Nepal on February 8 in Mumbai. England has won 2 T20I World Cups so far, first in 2010 and then again in 2022. However, the last time they toured India for an ICC event during the 2023 50-over World Cup, they were knocked out in the group stages after finishing at 7th (out of 10 teams) on the points table. They’ll be keen not to repeat the same mistakes on similar Indian pitches.

England will draw immense confidence from their 3-0 win over hosts Sri Lanka in the recently concluded T20I series. All-rounders Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, and Sam Curran were the key for them in the victory, and the fans will be hoping they continue their good form in the World Cup as well. Along with this, the experience of Jos Buttler and Phil Salt at the top of the order will be crucial for the English. And of course, who can forget their domineering captain Harry Brook, who will be keen to show his worth after recent controversies.

Nepal, on the other hand, is only playing its third T20 World Cup. They first qualified in 2014, but failed to do so for the next three editions. Led by captain Rohit Paudel, Nepal features some experienced players in the likes of Dipendra Singh Airee, mystery-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, and finisher Aasif Sheikh.

The England vs Nepal match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium – a red soil pitch that tends to favor the batsmen, which makes England hot favorites to win. However, Nepal does possess the talent to cause an upset.
