ENG vs NEP Dream11 Prediction

England and Nepal are set to meet in the 5th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This contest is between one of the tournament favourites and an emerging Associate side eager to prove itself on the biggest stage.

England arrive with a powerful squad led by Harry Brook, with an aggressive batting lineup featuring some of the best T20 batsman in the world like Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Will Jacks and Tom Banton, all well suited to Wankhede’s flat surface and short boundaries, while the bowling unit includes the pace of Jofra Archer and the control of spinners like Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson.

Nepal, meanwhile, comes into the game after gaining momentum from a strong qualification campaign at the international level, relying on the leadership of Rohit Paudel along with the attacking intent of Kushal Bhurtel and Dipendra Singh Airee. For this ENG vs NEP Dream11 team prediction, Jos Buttler and Phil Salt, who are the English openers, could be backed as captains of your Dream11 team. Both these players can earn a lot of fantasy points against the Nepal bowlers.
