West Indies are two-time T20 World Cup champions, having won the title in both 2012 and 2016. A 9-wicket victory margin places them alongside the most dominant performances of the tournament, underlining why the Caribbean side are among cricket’s most feared T20 teams. To win by 9 wickets requires both devastating bowling and clinical batting, and West Indies delivered on both.

Nepal have been Associate cricket’s most inspiring story from the Himalayan region. Sandeep Lamichhane’s leg-spin brought Nepal recognition on the global stage, and their growing pool of talented players gives them genuine match-winning options. While the 9-wicket defeat was heavy, Nepal’s presence at successive T20 World Cups reflects the growth of cricket across South Asia’s smaller nations.

The combination of power hitting, athletic fielding, and express pace bowling made them one of the tournament’s most exciting sides to watch and one of the most difficult to bowl at.
