Nepal vs West Indies Unity Cup 2025: Historic T20I Series Preview, Live Streaming & Schedule

Nepal’s senior men’s cricket team is set to create history as it faces two-time ICC T20 World Cup champions West Indies in the Unity Cup 2025 series, starting this October in Oman. This will be the first-ever T20I series between Nepal and West Indies’ senior national side, making it one of the most awaited contests in Nepal’s cricketing history.

Historic First Meeting

While Nepal has previously locked horns with the West Indies A team in a competitive five-match T20 series in Kathmandu last year (2024), winning two matches and losing three, this is the first time Nepal will face the main West Indies senior squad. That series gave fans a taste of Nepal’s potential, including a thrilling last-ball win and a spirited 2-3 finish. But this time, the stakes are higher.

Team Rankings Ahead of the Series

• West Indies: Ranked 6th in the ICC T20I standings.
• Nepal: Ranked 18th in the ICC T20I rankings.

Despite the gap, Nepal’s rise in world cricket and its fearless brand of play make this clash more competitive than ever.

• Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Keacy Carty, Jediah Blades
