West Indies suffered a new low as they were bowled out for just 83 to lose their T20 series with minnows Nepal in the United Arab Emirates.<\/b><\/p>\n

Nepal, who are ranked 18th in the world, had never played a T20 series against a full member nation before this week but have won the three-match series with a game to spare.<\/p>\n

Windies’ total of 83 is the lowest a full member nation has scored against an associate and the 90-run winning margin is also the biggest for an associate against a full member.<\/p>\n

It comes after West Indies’ Test team suffered a crushing defeat by Australia in July, being bowled out for just 27 – the second-lowest score in Test history, and the worst since 1955.<\/p>\n

After losing that series 3-0, Cricket West Indies president Dr Kishore Shallow called for an emergency meeting <\/a>to review the series and enlisted the help of legendary former players Sir Viv Richards, Sir Clive Lloyd and Brian Lara.<\/p>\n

They also failed to qualify for the 50-over World Cup in 2023 and they are currently outside the qualifying places for 2027 edition. <\/p>\n

Nepal posted a decent score of 173-6 in their 20 overs thanks to a 100-run fourth-wicket partnership between Aasif Sheikh and Sundeep Jora, with Jora hitting five sixes in Sharjah.<\/p>\n

West Indies, who are sixth in the T20 rankings, never got going in the chase, with only three batters reaching double figures.<\/p>\n

They were 63-4 in the 12th over before collapsing to just 83 all out.<\/p>\n

Nepal, who are coached by Australian Stuart Law, take part in qualifiers for the 2026 T20 World Cup next month – they played at the 2024 and 2014 tournaments.<\/p>\n

The series concludes with the third T20 on Tuesday (15:30 BST). <\/p>\n

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, meanwhile, has been ruled out of next month’s two-Test series against India due to the recurrence of a back injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
