Mumbai: In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, group stage matches are underway. Although Nepal lost all three of its matches against England, Italy, and West Indies, the presence of Nepali fans and celebrities in the stadium has been remarkable. Today, Nepal will play its final match against Scotland.
Some Indian media even wrote that the Wankhede Stadium looked like TU Cricket Ground because of the overwhelming Nepali crowd. The participation of Nepali cricket fans has been impressive. Alongside general supporters, Nepali actors and content creators have also reached Mumbai to cheer for their team. Photos of film stars, musicians, beauty pageant winners, and influencers supporting Nepal are trending on social media.
Celebrities such as Aditi Budhathoki, Malina Joshi, Indu Verma, Badri Pangeni, Sisan Baniya, Swastima Khadka, Nischal Basnet, Sushila Gautam, and Sujita Shrestha are currently in Mumbai. Nepal will face Scotland on Tuesday at 7:15 PM Nepali time. The match is only for pride, as Nepal has already been eliminated after losing three games. Playing in their third World Cup, Nepal had previously managed to beat one team in each of the past two editions. This time, whether they return empty-handed or with a win remains to be seen.”
