Nepal, Oman secure spots for T20I WC 2026

Nepal and Oman move into guaranteed top three spots and secure spots for next year’s T20 World Cup 2026 before facing each other in the Super Six phase.

Two of the three ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 tickets via the Asia/East Asia-Pacific Qualifier have been snatched by Nepal and Oman.

With the UAE’s win against Samoa, and with the Emiratis set to take on Japan on Thursday, Oman and Nepal had their top three finishes guaranteed before their meeting against each other in Super Six action.

Five of the first six matches in the Super Six stage went to the final over to highlight the fine margins between the sides, with the Nepalis prevailing in two nail-biters to book their tickets.

Unbeaten in group action, the side brought two carryover points to the Super Six stage before their final-ball victories against UAE and Qatar.
