England vs Nepal prediction

After a turbulent build-up off the field, England finally looked to have clicked off the field heading into this T20 World Cup with Nepal awaiting them in Mumbai. This format is by far England’s best in white ball cricket and Harry Brook’s men are coming off the back of a resounding three-match sweep away in Sri Lanka.

Nepal are expected to really struggle contain this England batting line-up, who should rack up the runs. Multiple batters could fill their boots here, including Phil Salt. The opener will be desperate to get off to a good start and play himself into form, so consider backing him to score 30+ runs alongside England winning this game.

England vs Nepal tip: England to win and Phil Salt to score 30+ runs
