West Indies vs Nepal Match Prediction, 3rd T20I – Who will win today’s match between WI vs NEP?

The third and final T20I of the series between West Indies and Nepal is scheduled to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, September 30. Nepal have already won the series with a couple of historic triumphs against the former world champions.

Nepal have been phenomenal in the series so far. They have come together as one unit to tear apart West Indies. Skipper Rohit Paudel led from the front in the series-opening clash with bat (38 off 35) and ball (1/20 in 3 overs) to script a 19-run win.

In the second game, half-centuries from Aasif Sheikh (68* off 47) and Sundeep Jora (63 off 39) and then a four-wicket haul from Mohammad Aadil Alam (4/24 in 4 overs) decimated the opposition to register a 90-run win. Akeal Hosein, the standby skipper, has been particularly impressive with the ball in both clashes so far, having conceded runs at an economy rate of just 4.87.

The second-string and inexperienced West Indian side will be anticipated to put on a better fight in what is essentially a dead rubber. Nepal, on the other hand, will look to whitewash West Indies in the first-ever T20I series between the two nations.
