WI vs NEP, T20 World Cup LIVE: How Sherfane Rutherford grew up

Rutherford’s father died during the Covid-19 pandemic, and he fled the IPL bubble, racing home to Enmore, where he had grown up as one of seven siblings. In that same period came life’s brutal math: he lost a father and became one. He asked himself: “Will you be basic for your whole life, or will you become something else?” The answer demanded work. “I decided I am going to do what others weren’t doing — work harder, improve, find ways to better my game.” From that Covid period onwards, he has been doing it for his father. “Having a family of my own gives me strength to keep going,” he once told WindiesCricket.com. “Everything I achieve reflects my father’s hard work and the sacrifices my parents made for me.”

WI vs NEP, T20 World Cup LIVE: Men of the hour for West Indies

Gudakesh Motie, the multi-dimensional left-arm spinner who can bowl both finger-spin and wrist-spin, was one of the stars of the show as West Indies took down England to almost secure their spot in the Super 8 at the T20 World Cup. Motie bewildered England’s best batsmen Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell to turn the game West Indies’ way.

Meanwhile, Sherfane Rutherford also starred in West Indies’ convincing win over England in the T20 World Cup on Wednesday. Rutherford guided West Indies from 77 for 4, and then 128 for 6, to a strong 196.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Nepal versus West Indies game from the T20 World Cup. It's a game where one team could secure a Super 8 spot and another could book their tickets back home.

West Indies are on top of their group after victories over Scotland and England. One more victory will be enough to seal their place in the Super 8s.

Nepal are staring at the edge of elimination, aware that another defeat will bring a promising campaign to a cruel end.

Three Nepal fans chase a T20 World Cup dream: 30-plus hours on a train, four matches of hope

For Jaka Shaha, Tegendra Shahi and Jeevan Shahi, the journey to Mumbai for the T20 World Cup began in their villages in Nepal, with a decision that sounded simple but demanded commitment. “We came by train,” Jaka, hailing from the western border near Assam, said. “It took 30 to 36 hours.” All three laughed. The exact number hardly mattered anymore.

They travelled together on the same train, crossing borders and states, carrying little more than bags, tickets and belief. “It’s been ten days since we came from our village,” Jaka said, explaining that they had a few acquaintances in the city, with whom they were staying, not just for one game. The plan is to stay right through Nepal’s Group C campaign at the Wankhede Stadium.  “We came for all four matches,” Jaka added firmly. “Yes, all four,” Tegendra, hailing from Dailekh district in the Karnali Pradesh province of Nepal repeated, nodding in agreement.
