Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 5 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between ENG vs NEP to be played in Mumbai.

England will enter the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 as one of the top favorites to lift the title. The two-time champions failed to defend their title in 2024, but they will fancy their chances as they open their tournament with a game against Nepal.

This contest will be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Harry Brook and his men are coming off consecutive series wins in Sri Lanka. They showed great determination in tough conditions. But the playing conditions in Mumbai will perfectly suit their batting style.

Nepal have been very consistent, and one of the top moments for them came when they beat West Indies in a T20I series in the UAE. To upset the two-time champions, they will have to produce something extraordinary to do so.

ENG vs NEP: Pitch Report

Wankhede Stadium is one of the best batting venues in India. It is not a big stadium, and the outfield is lightning fast. Bowlers with good slower ones have found a little bit of success here.

The bounce is also very good, and batters have used that to good effect. In T20s, this is considered a six-hitting venue.
