Scotland and Nepal are all set to play their final game of the T20 World Cup 2026. This is a Group C game, match no. 33 of the tournament. Scotland managed only a solitary win out of 3, whereas Nepal is winless thus far in the tournament. Both teams will look to end their disappointing T20 World Cup campaigns with a win. In this post, we have compiled free expert tips for the 33rd match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
The way Nepal has played in this tournament after the game against England has been nothing but disappointing. Their batting has failed in the last two games against Italy and West Indies, which has been a major concern. On the other hand, Scotland has been a far better side than Nepal and haven’t been flattered in any of their games with ease. Therefore, expect the win probability meter to favor Scotland. Let’s continue with the post and find the best cricket tips for the 33rd match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
SCO: 59% win chance NEP: 41% win chance
The Scottish skipper has held the middle-order together in this World Cup. The veteran right-hander has scored 106 runs so far from three innings at a brilliant strike-rate of 158.
The left-hand opener is so far Scotland's highest run-getter with 107 runs from 3 innings, which includes a brilliant 84 in the game against Italy.
Fresh off a brilliant 73 in the last game against West Indies in Mumbai, Dipendra Singh Airee has shown prolific effort with the bat scoring 119 runs thus far from 3 innings in this tournament.
Aasif Sheikh is yet to get going in the tournament despite getting starts in almost every game. Expect Sheikh to finally have a go in Nepal's final game of this World Cup.
Check out our prediction for the SCO vs NEP 33rd match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Scotland and Nepal are set to lock horns in their final Group C clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, match no. 33 of the tournament. Both sides have endured disappointing campaigns, and this fixture offers them a chance to finish on a positive note. Scotland, with just one win from three outings, will be eager to double their tally, while Nepal are desperate to secure their first victory of the competition.
For Nepal, this game carries added significance. Winless so far, they have struggled to find rhythm and consistency, managing only two wins in their last five T20 internationals. Their batting unit has lacked firepower, and the bowling attack has failed to deliver breakthroughs at crucial moments. However, the team will be motivated to end the tournament with pride, and a spirited performance could give their fans something to cheer about.
Scotland, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on Nepal’s vulnerabilities and finish strong. With both sides eyeing a win, this contest promises intensity, as Nepal chase their maiden win of the tournament and Scotland aim to close with authority.
Scotland will enter their final Group C clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 against Nepal as the clear favorites. Match no. 33 of the tournament pits two sides who have struggled for consistency, but Scotland’s relatively stronger record gives them the edge. With one win already under their belt, the Scots have shown glimpses of their potential, particularly through their experienced batting lineup and disciplined seam attack.
Nepal, on the other hand, remain winless in the competition and have managed just two victories in their last five T20 internationals. Their batting has lacked fluency, and the bowling unit has struggled to apply sustained pressure. While Nepal will be motivated to earn their first win of the tournament, the gulf in experience and exposure at the highest level tilts the balance in Scotland’s favor.
Scotland’s mindset, coupled with their depth in both batting and bowling, makes them better placed to finish their campaign on a high. Nepal will need a spirited, all-round performance to challenge the Scots, but on paper, Scotland should start as favorites in this contest. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
