Why Nepal’s Crushing T20 WC 2026 Ticket Sales – Bigger Than You Think!
Cricket fans are going wild for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, and Nepal is stealing the show. Ticket sales for Nepal’s matches are second only to hosts India, beating out nearly every other team. It’s clear Nepalese supporters are ready to pack the stands and make some noise.
Wankhede Set for a Nepali Takeover
The action kicks off at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium, Nepal’s main spot for group games. Expect a flood of fans in blue turning it into a home game vibe. Organizers say it’ll feel like a packed IPL night, with Nepal bringing the biggest away crowd. One insider told the Times of India that this level of hype gives captain Rohit Paudel a real edge, even on foreign turf.
Nepal’s Tough Schedule and Star Power
Nepal starts strong against England on February 8, then Italy on the 12th, West Indies on the 15th, and wraps Mumbai games versus Scotland on the 17th. The team’s stacked with talent like all-rounder Dipendra Singh Airee, spinner Sandeep Lamichhane and opener Kushal Bhurtel. No more underdogs – Nepal’s a serious contender now, thanks to a decade of cricket growth back home.
