Nepal skittle West Indies for 83 in historic T20 cricket series win

West Indies were bowled out for just 83 as they lost their T20 series with Nepal in the United Arab Emirates.

Nepal, who are ranked 18th in the world, had never played a T20 series against a full member nation before this week but have won the three-match series with a game to spare.

Nepal posted a decent score of 173-6 in their 20 overs thanks to a 100-run fourth-wicket partnership between Aasif Sheikh and Sundeep Jora, with Jora hitting five sixes in Sharjah.

West Indies, who are sixth in the T20 rankings, never got going in the chase, with only three batters reaching double figures.

They were 63-4 in the 12th over before collapsing to just 83 all out, the lowest total a full member nation has scored against an associate.

The 90-run winning margin is also the biggest for an associate against a full member.

Nepal, who are coached by Australian Stuart Law, take part in qualifiers for the 2026 T20 World Cup next month – they played at the 2024 and 2014 tournaments.

The series concludes with the third T20 on Tuesday (15:30 BST).

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, meanwhile, has been ruled out of next month’s two-Test series against India due to the recurrence of a back injury.
