Sri Lanka vs Nepal Prediction: Sri Lanka lost two in two

Sri Lanka and Nepal are going head to head in the Match 23 of the ICC T20 World Cup at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium, Lauderhill, United States on 12th June 2024. Sri Lanka lost two in two in the World Cup so far. Who will win this game of cricket?

Sri Lanka form

Sri Lanka has been inconsistent recently in international cricket with both good and bad performances to their name. They have lost both of their matches in the tournament so far and are desperate to win this one to have any chance of going to the next stage of the game. In their most recent game against Bangladesh, they were near a win but fell short by two wickets. Despite a strong start with Pathum Nissanka's 47 runs from 28 balls, Sri Lanka struggled with the bat and were only able to put 124 on the board at the end of the allotted overs.

Sri Lanka Predicted Lineup

Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara

Nepal form

Despite not yet scoring any points, Nepal has only lost one game, putting them potentially in a stronger position than Sri Lanka before their upcoming match. Nepal will need improved performances from their top and middle-order batsmen as they have let them down in the tournament if you consider the warmup games as well. Skipper Rohit Paudel was one of the few top seven players to score double figures and the only one to exceed 11 runs in the previous match. In terms of bowling - Sompal Kami, Dipendra Singh Airee, and Abinash Bohara managed to take a wicket each in the game against the Netherlands. They need to make a collective effort to do well in the game against Sri Lanka.

Nepal Predicted Lineup

Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Anil Sah, Rohit Paudel (c), Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Sompal Kami, Gulsan Jha, Karan KC, Sagar Dhakal, Abinash Bohara
