If we had Nepal, it would been SRL, Afghanistan, BD, Nepal. Come on now, that would be totally unfair group.

Nepal is doing great in shorter format.. @jnaveen1980 @sweep_shot why they were not playing the Asia Cup?

They did not qualify

Topped their group then lost in the SF to the UAE and then in the 3rd place playoff vs HK

Bro this is sad west indies and pakistan are at same level or is pakistan still ahead of west indies?

They will go down after this..

 

[Shaka81]

Just when you think Pakistan have reached the pits of rock bottom, along come West Indies to show what rock bottom actually means. Seriously losing to Nepal is worse than embarrassing. They should just quit cricket and find alternative careers at this point.

West Indies suffered a new low as they were bowled out for just 83 to lose their T20 series with minnows 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.

Windies' total of 83 is the lowest a full member nation has scored against an associate and the 90-run winning margin is also the biggest for an associate against a full member.

It comes after West Indies' Test team suffered a crushing defeat by Australia in July, being bowled out for just 27 - the second-lowest score in Test history, and the worst since 1955.

After losing that series 3-0, Cricket West Indies president Dr Kishore Shallow called for an emergency meeting to review the series and enlisted the help of legendary former players Sir Viv Richards, Sir Clive Lloyd and Brian Lara.

They also failed to qualify for the 50-over World Cup in 2023 and they are currently outside the qualifying places for 2027 edition.

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.

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).

Yup. They have defeated West Indies 2 games in a row.

If they win the third, they can whitewash West Indies.

West Indies cricket will soon go extinct. Olympics 2028 will be the start of the West Indies putting up regional teams in tournaments. They won't play test cricket after this WTC cycle with Darren Sammy hellbent on destroying West Indies cricket.

It won't be a surprise to see them play in the next Asia Cup.

 

[Hellion]

Now that T20 is globalized, I have a feeling, one day one of the Asian teams will lose against Brazil, Argentina, or Italy in Cricket too.

Yes, Bangladesh will lose against all of them in the next couple of years. I have full faith in them

West Indies destroyed Nepal in 3rd game. LOL. Won by 10 wickets.

Anyway, Nepal won the series 2-1. Well done.
