Sri Lanka vs Nepal, T20 World Cup 2024 Highlights: The match between Sri Lanka vs Nepal has been called off due to inclement weather in Florida. The ground staff did their best but the rain has the final say in this contest. Both teams share a point in this Group D clash.
The washout has made things even more difficult for Sri Lanka. Their chances of qualifying into Super 8 stage look very slim. They will face Netherlands in their last group game and will have to win it by a huge margin to take their net run-rate above other teams and hope other results go in their favour.
Nepal will lock horns against South Africa three days later, having last played a match eight days previously. This washout counfirms South Africa as the first team to make the Super 8s.
