Nepal began their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign against England at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on February 8, 2026, where the latter won by four runs.

Batting first, England were off to a sloppy start after Nepal player Sher Malla dismissed Phil Salt in the second over. For England, Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook delivered crucial half-centuries to help their side set a target of 184 runs after 20 overs. Meanwhile, Nepal's chase was powered by Rohit Paudel and Dipendra Singh Airee's crucial partnership; however, the English bowlers struck at the right moments, leaving Nepal short of just four runs.

One of the highlights of the match was the fans who travelled from Nepal to Mumbai. A sea of red and blue replica shirts heaved in the stadium, where the Nepalese fans danced and sang while supporting their side in the marquee tournament. Following the match, one Nepal fan stood out from the rest because of his benevolent gesture.
