WI vs NEP 3rd T20I Match Prediction of Unity Cup 2025

The Unity Cup 2025 has turned into a fairytale for Nepal as they lead the three-match T20I series 2-0 against the mighty West Indies. With history already made, Rohit Paudel’s men will now look to script a clean sweep in the third and final T20I at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. On the other hand, West Indies will be desperate to avoid a whitewash and end the series on a positive note. So let’s have a look at WI vs NEP 3rd T20I Match Prediction.

Nepal Eye Historic Whitewash

Nepal have played fearless cricket throughout the series. In the first two games, their batting depth and bowling discipline completely outclassed the Caribbean unit. Aasif Sheikh and Sundeep Jora’s match-winning partnerships showcased the growing maturity in Nepal’s batting order, while bowlers like Mohammad Aadil Alam and Kushal Bhurtel applied pressure with consistency. Their ability to hold nerve in crunch situations has been a major reason for their dominance. A 3-0 series win over a two-time T20 World Cup-winning side would be one of the greatest achievements in Nepal’s cricketing history.

West Indies Desperate to Bounce Back

For West Indies, the series has been nothing short of disappointing. Their power-packed batting lineup has struggled to adapt to Sharjah’s slower surface, with partnerships failing to materialize at key moments. Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers have shown brief flashes of resistance, but the overall lack of application has cost them dearly. Skipper Akeal Hosein will expect his side to regroup and display character in the final game to salvage some pride. A win here could at least give them confidence heading into upcoming tournaments.

Sharjah Pitch Report

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium has always been known for producing high-scoring encounters, thanks to its short boundaries and quick outfield. Batters can enjoy the ball coming onto the bat during powerplay overs, but spinners tend to come into play under lights with some grip and turn available. Historically, chasing has been easier in Sharjah, making the toss a crucial factor. Teams winning the toss are likely to bowl first.

WI vs NEP Match Prediction

  • If Nepal bat first: They could post 160–170, relying on their spinners to defend later.

  • If West Indies bat first: Expect 150–160, but inconsistency in the middle order could hurt their chances.

Prediction: Nepal Favorites

Given their current form and momentum, Nepal are strong favorites to win the 3rd T20I and secure a historic 3-0 whitewash. However, West Indies have the talent to bounce back if their big names fire.

Probable Playing XI

West Indies: Akeal Hosein (c), Amir Jangoo (wk), Kyle Mayers, Jason Holder, Navin Bidaisee, Ackeem Auguste, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy, Karima Gore, Shamar Springer, Ramon Simmonds.
