Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium surface in Mumbai is generally known for being batting-friendly with good bounce and pace, allowing stroke-makers to play freely, especially during the powerplay overs. Fast bowlers may get some swing early in the innings, but the pitch usually becomes ideal for batting later. A first-innings score around 180–190 is considered competitive at this venue.
Weather Report
Mumbai is expected to witness warm and slightly humid morning conditions with temperatures around 26–30°C. Rain interruptions are unlikely, so a full match is expected.
Match Prediction
West Indies enters the match as the stronger side with explosive hitters and experienced all-rounders capable of dominating both departments. Nepal, however, has a disciplined spin attack and energetic young players who can create pressure if they pick up early wickets. West Indies holds the advantage, but Nepal could make the contest competitive with a strong bowling performance.
