In a commanding performance, West Indies secured a spot in the Super Eights at the T20 World Cup, overcoming Nepal with a nine-wicket victory. The match, held on Sunday, saw Shai Hope lead the charge with an unbeaten 61, supported by Shimron Hetmyer's 46 not out.

Bowling first, West Indies restricted Nepal to a modest 133 for 8, thanks to Jason Holder's impressive 4/27. Dipendra Singh Airee's resilient 58 not out was the only saving grace for Nepal's innings. Despite a strong start, Nepal's efforts with the bat were in vain as the West Indies comfortably chased down the target in 15.2 overs.

This win marked West Indies' third consecutive triumph in the tournament, positioning them at the top of Group C. Despite Nepal's fighting spirit, led by Airee and a brief revival by Sompal Kami, they could not withstand the West Indies' batting prowess, leaving their passionate fans departing in disappointment.
