Nepal have posted a respective total against the West Indies in the T20 World Cup despite a poor start. After losing the toss and batting first, Nepal finished their allotted 20 overs with 133 for 7. This means West Indies now need 134 runs to win.

For Nepal, Dipendra Singh Airee top-scored with 58 runs, striking three fours and a six in 47 balls. Besides him, Sompal Kami played an unbeaten innings of 26, the only other double-figure score. Asif Sheikh made 11, Lokesh Bam scored 13, and Gulshan Jha contributed 11 runs.

Earlier, Nepal had slumped to 46 for 4, but Dipendra and Sompal steadied the innings and helped Nepal post a respectable total.

For the West Indies, Jason Holder took 3 wickets, while Akeal Hosein, Matthew Ford, Samer Joseph, and Roston Chase claimed one wicket each.

In this World Cup, West Indies have won their previous two matches, while Nepal have lost their opening two games. If West Indies win today, they will secure a place in the Super Eight; if Nepal are defeated, they will be eliminated before their final match. In their last game, Nepal will face Scotland, while West Indies will compete against Italy.
