as ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Coming to the end of his work, Group C brings a dead rubber among them Scotland and Nepal. The match will be played at the famous Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. Although the dream of the Super 8s has faded for both nations, pride and one last chance to shine on the world stage is still in sight.
For Scotland, this tournament has been a “what if” story. They showed glimpses of their quality with a dominant 73-run win over Italy, but narrow losses to heavyweights England and the West Indies left them out of the qualification bracket. Backed by an incredible and vociferous fan base, Nepal had a tournament of extreme highs and lows. They pushed England to an absolute limit in a 4-run thriller that won hearts globally, only to suffer a shocking 10-wicket collapse against Italy.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is famous for its lively wicket which continuously creates an engaging battle between bat and ball. The natural movement of the grass and surface at the start of the match allows the pacers to move with the new ball and enhances the power play for both teams. As the match progresses, the track generally evens out and becomes more and more conducive to hitting. True bounce and relatively short boundaries invite aggressive strokeplay, often leading to high totals where clean timing is rewarded. Historically, chasing sides have thrived in this space, raising the importance of the toss and ensuring captains often prefer to bowl first. However, the latter matches offer a more even contest as the pitch has also started to offer some grip and spin for the spinners in the latter stages.
