Sri Lanka and Nepal arrived in Lauderhill eager to secure their first wins and set their T20 World Cup 2024 campaigns on the right path. However, relentless rain, severe enough to prompt flash-flood warnings for local residents, resulted in both teams sharing a point each.
This outcome severely dents Sri Lanka’s hopes of reaching the Super Eight, while Nepal’s chances of advancing also took a significant blow. Meanwhile, South Africa, leading Group D, have secured their spot in the Super Eights.
For Sri Lanka to have any shot at qualifying, they need a string of favorable results. Firstly, they must hope that the Bangladesh vs. Netherlands match on June 13 in Bridgetown is abandoned due to rain.
Following that, they must win their final group-stage game against the Netherlands on June 16. Additionally, they require South Africa to hand Nepal a heavy defeat on June 14, and then for Nepal to narrowly beat Bangladesh on June 16.
Nepal still has a chance to qualify. but it’s a challenging one. They need to achieve substantial victories over both South Africa and Bangladesh in their final two games, and they also need the Netherlands to avoid winning both of their remaining matches.
The forthcoming matches at the site are currently in jeopardy due to the Lauderhill weather forecast. From June 14 to June 16, Lauderhill is set to host three Group A matches with the countries of India, Pakistan, Canada, the USA, and Ireland (playing twice). However, there could be problems because of the forecast weather during the week.
