Nepal Playing 11 vs West Indies- 2nd T20I, West Indies vs Nepal 2025:
Openers: Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk)
Nepal will have a great opportunity to win its first-ever T20I series against a Test-playing nation when it takes on the West Indies in the second of the three T20Is.
The side led by Rohit Paudel would like to replicate the performance it gave in the first match of the series, especially with the ball and in the field.
As far as Nepal's batting is concerned, the team management would want a better effort from a batting lineup that has a good mix of youth and expierence.
The likes of Aasif Sheikh and Kushal Bhurtel will have to put their best foot forward and get this sorted in terms of batting in the second T20I.
The duo failed to contribute significantly in the opening game of the three-match series, which put Nepal in a bit of bother, and it took a partnership between Rohit Pudel and Kushal Malla to bail the team out of trouble.
The opening pair will have to get the team off to a good start in order to increase Nepal's chances of winning.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Rohit Paudel (c), Sundeep Jora, Dipendra Singh Airee, Kushal Malla, Karan KC, Gulsan Jha
The openers would be followed by a middle order, which, although it failed to perform to its full potential, made sure that Nepal had something to defend.
Having said that, the captain and the coach would want the batters to up their game and deliver a strong performance in the next outing.
The onus will be on captain Rohit Paudel, who batted well at number three and would want to continue to score in the second match of the short series against the West Indies.
Rohit would want other batters to make a more significant contribution by converting the starts that they get into big scores.
Bowlers: Sompal Kami, Nandan Yadav, Lalit Rajbanshi
Unlike the batting, Nepal would be happy with the way the bowlers put their hand up and performed for the team, which gave the Rohit Paudel-led side a historic win over the former T20 World Cup champions.
The Nepalese bowlers would like to keep up the good work in the second game as well and help the team register its first-ever series win over the West Indies in international cricket across formats.
One of the biggest advantages that Nepal has heading into the series is the number of bowling options that the team has at its disposal.
To add to that, the majority of the bowlers are also good enough to make handy contributions with the bat, which can prove to be decisive in the upcoming match.
Nepal is expected to go into the second game with the same playing XI that took the field in the series opener.
