Nep vs WI 1st T20I: Where to Watch Nepal vs West Indies, H2H Stats, Playing 11 & Full Match Details

West Indies (WI) and Nepal (NEP) will face each other in the first T20I of their three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday, September 27. This series is special for Nepal as it will be their first-ever bilateral series against a Full Member nation.
West Indies will be without their regular captain Shai Hope, and Akeal Hosein will lead the side. Their squad includes five uncapped players such as Ackeem Auguste and Amir Jangoo, along with experienced names like Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, and Kyle Mayers. The Caribbean side will also look to bounce back after losing 1-2 to Pakistan in their last T20I series.
Nepal, on the other hand, has brought back all-rounder Mohammad Aadil Alam and batter Sundeep Jora. Rohit Paudel will captain the team with Dipendra Singh Airee as vice-captain. All eyes will again be on leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, while left-arm spinner Lalit Rajbanshi also makes his return. Nepal comes into this series in good form, having won three of their last four T20 matches.

Pitch Report – Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
The pitch at Sharjah Cricket Stadium usually helps the batters, and it often gets better for batting as the match goes on. The short boundaries make it easier to hit sixes with good timing. But at the same time, the pitch can also offer some help to spinners in the middle overs, which can slow down the scoring.
