Zimbabwe, Nepal, and Oman secured victories in the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up games. Zimbabwe defeated the Netherlands by 29 runs, while Nepal chased down 146 runs to beat the UAE by seven wickets. Aamir Kaleem’s impressive performance with the bat led Oman to a five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka A.
In the match against the Netherlands, Ryan Burl and Richard Ngarava played crucial roles in Zimbabwe’s win. Burl’s unbeaten 50 from 31 balls guided Zimbabwe to 178 for nine. Despite Logan van Beek’s three wickets for the Netherlands, the team struggled in their reply, ultimately falling short.
Nepal’s victory over the UAE was powered by an unbroken century stand between Dipendra Singh Airee and Aarif Sheikh. Singh Airee and Sheikh’s unbeaten knocks of 50 and 61 respectively led Nepal to victory with three overs to spare. Sandeep Lamicchane’s two wickets for 24 runs were instrumental in restricting the UAE.
Aamir Kaleem’s entertaining 80 runs led Oman to victory against Sri Lanka A. Despite a shaky start, Oman managed to chase down the target with Aamir’s impressive 47-ball blitz and Vinayak Shukla’s unbeaten 39. Sahan’s three wickets for 16 runs for Sri Lanka A were not enough to secure a win.
