Nepal Stuns West Indies by 90 Runs
Nepal clinched a historic Twenty20 series win over the West Indies after a commanding 90-run victory in Sharjah on September 29, 2025. The win sealed an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, with one match still to play.
Dominant Batting Display
Nepal batted first and put up 173 for 6 in their 20 overs. The innings was anchored by a 100-run fourth-wicket stand between Aasif Sheikh, who remained unbeaten on 68, and Sundeep Jora, who smashed 63 off 39 balls. Their partnership shifted the momentum firmly in Nepal’s favor.
Bowling Blitz
The West Indies were bundled out for 83 in 17.1 overs. Mohammad Aadil Alam starred with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 24 runs, while Kushal Bhurtel added 3 for 16 in 2.1 overs. The collapse highlighted West Indies’ struggles against disciplined bowling.
Series Significance
This marks Nepal’s first bilateral series victory against a full Test-playing nation. Their earlier 19-run win in the opener had already stunned cricket followers, and this emphatic triumph confirmed their growing status in international cricket.
What’s Next
Nepal will look to complete a clean sweep in the final match, while the West Indies face pressure to salvage pride after back-to-back defeats to a lower-ranked side.
