Feb 18, Kathmandu - The Embassy of India in Nepal has extended its heartfelt congratulations to the Nepalese national cricket team, Chitwan Rhinos, following their historic victory at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

The congratulations came via a post on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after Nepal secured a stunning seven-wicket win over Scotland at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday night, February 17.

The win marks Nepal's first T20 World Cup victory in 12 years, their last coming against Afghanistan and Hong Kong in 2014.
