Sri Lanka will lock horns against Nepal in the 23rd match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida on Tuesday. Both of these teams are yet to register a single win in the tournament and it is a do-or-die situation for both of these Asian teams.
Sri Lanka scored only 124 against Bangladesh in their last game whereas Nepal was skittled out for 106 by the Dutch. Ergo, both of them need to come up with a collective effort with the bat in this crucial game.
Sri Lanka has lost both of their matches and they are on the verge of elimination. Thus, the Wanindu Hasaranga-led team will need to come up with a better performance.
