Scotland and Nepal will end their campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on Tuesday, February 17, when they take the field at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in match 33 of the edition.

Scotland team news
Scotland head into the clash looking to regain momentum after a mixed run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Under captain Richie Berrington, the side has relied on experienced names like George Munsey and Michael Leask to provide stability, while the bowling unit featuring Mark Watt and Safyaan Sharif continues to offer control through the middle overs.
Their recent defeat to England exposed some batting inconsistencies despite Berrington’s fighting knock, and the team will be eager for a stronger powerplay showing. With qualification still within reach, Scotland are expected to stick with a balanced playing 11 built around experienced all-rounders and disciplined spin options.
Nepal team news
Nepal arrive under pressure after a difficult campaign that has seen them struggle for consistency with the bat. Captain Rohit Paudel’s side has shown flashes through Dipendra Singh Airee and Aasif Sheikh, but low powerplay totals and missed opportunities have hurt their chances.
Head coach Stuart Law has urged the squad to improve focus and commitment following recent defeats, while leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane remains their key wicket-taking threat. Nepal are likely to emphasise early aggression and sharper fielding to challenge Scotland, as they search for a much-needed performance to restore confidence in their final group-stage outings.
