T20 World Cup 2024: Sri Lanka vs Nepal match abandoned as rain starts again

The match between Sri Lanka and Nepal has been abandoned after the rain started again in Lauderhill on Wednesday. 

The Group D match was to be played at the Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.

Umpires decided to abandon the match. Now, Both teams got a point each from this washed out match.

Nepal still hold their position at fourth place with 1 point, due to a superior net run rate over Sri Lanka, who are still at the bottom of the group.

Sri Lanka lost both their games so far. They are on the brink of exit from the World Cup. Nepal, on the other hand, suffered defeat in their opening game to Netherlands. Both teams will have to win their respective matches to stay in the competition. 

Three more matches are scheduled in Florida but weather conditions look bleak for the prospects of matches taking place. The USA will take on Ireland on Friday. Later, India will clash with Canada on the 15th and Pakistan with Ireland on the 16th.
