West Indies secured their place in the T20 World Cup Super 8s with a commanding nine-wicket victory over Nepal in Mumbai. The Caribbean side restricted Nepal to 133-8, with Jason Holder earning player of the match honors for his 4-27 bowling performance.

Shai Hope's unbeaten 61 and Shimron Hetmyer's 46 not out guided West Indies to their target in just 15.2 overs, maintaining their perfect record in Group C. This win clinches qualification with a match to spare, putting pressure on England to secure the second automatic qualification spot.

Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee top-scored with 58 off 47 balls before being caught by Rovman Powell off Holder's delivery. With all three group matches lost, Nepal now play for pride against Scotland in Mumbai on Tuesday. West Indies will complete their group stage against Italy in Kolkata on Thursday, having already booked their Super 8s berth.
