NEP vs ITA ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Group C match no 17 LIVE: Rohit Paudel’s Nepal will be aiming for their first win the tournament since 2014 as they face newcomers Italy at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

The surprise-package of this T20 World Cup 2026 – Nepal – will take on debutants Italy in their second Group C match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Rohit Paudel’s Nepal team came within touching distance of causing a massive upset in their opening match against England at the same venue but fell just short of a famous win.

Nepal have taken part in a couple of T20 World Cups – in 2014 and 2024 – but have only managed a couple of wins. Their two wins came in the 2014 edition in Bangladesh and the last one was against Afghanistan in Chattogram. They will be hoping to post their third win in the ICC tournament after bowing out without a victory in the 2024 edition.

“A lot of learning, especially the way we played against England. It gave a lot of confidence. Yes, disappointment is there but I think as a group we need to see that the way we played against England, one of the favourite teams in the tournament. And I think as a group it gave a lot of confidence to us. And moving forward to Italy’s game, so yeah, Italy is one of the good teams because for past they have been playing really well cricket. So we cannot take any team lightly here in this World Cup. So we have been planning well. So now it’s time to execute those plans,” Nepal captain Rohit Paudel said in Mumbai.

Italy, on the other hand, had a tough initiation with a 73-run loss at the hands of Scotland in their opening match. They also lost their skipper Wayne Madsen due to injury in the first 4 overs of the match. Harry Manenti, the younger of the two brothers, will be leading the team against Nepal and Marcus Campopiano is expected to come into the side in place of Madsen.
