With England and West Indies qualifying for the Super Eights from Group C, Scotland and Nepal will battle it out for glory at the Wankhede Stadium. There may be no qualifying stakes in this game, but a win would provide a meaningful ending for two teams that have endured seasons filled with thrills and hard lessons.
Nepal got off to a promising start and trailed by just four runs in a thrilling 184-run chase against England. However, that match ended in crushing defeats against Italy and West Indies, with batting failures and lack of bowling penetration taking their toll.
Scotland’s campaign is equally high-profile. After losing to the West Indies, England finally brought them back down to earth with a convincing win over Italy. However, their spin attack thrives in Indian conditions and on a surface that offers the most spin in the tournament, they may feel their chances.
For both sides, it was all about finishing strong.
