SL vs NEP Match 23 Results

12:32 AM IST UPDATE - We have come back with rather an unfortunate news! THE GAME HAS BEEN CALLED OFF. There was non-stop drizzle going on and even the puddles formed right from the start was not good enough for the officials to wait long enough and rather make an easy decision. That means, both Nepal and Sri Lanka get a point each but the overall picture for them looks dimming as their chances to qualiify for the next round fades away. However, this also means that South Africa becomes the first team to qualify for the Super Eights. That is all from this game. You can join us for the match between Australia and Namibia which have already kicked-off. So, switch the tabs and join us there. Cheers!

12:11 AM IST UPDATE - 5.37 am IST (12.07 am GMT) - Well we have more positive news for you!

So, the vibes are optimistic and if all goes as per planned, we should get some action today. Stay tuned.

11:18 PM IST UPDATE - 4.44 am IST (11.14 pm GMT, the previous day) - Good news! The rain has stopped completely and the super-soppers are out to do their job. It might take another hour or so for the groundsmen to get the ground ready, barring there is no more rain. Stay tuned.

11:04 PM IST UPDATE - 4.32 am IST (11.02 pm GMT, the previous day) - Well, not the start that we hoped for as it's currently raining in Lauderhill, Florida. It's pelting actually and there are puddles formed in couple of areas on the ground. It will take a lot of time for the groundstaff to get the ground ready but before that, let's hope the rain stops. THE TOSS HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY DELAYED. Stay tuned.

10:35 PM IST Nepal, on the other hand, have only played one game where they lost to Netherlands. Just like their opponents, it was their batting that let the down. Their skipper, Rohit Paudel, Gulshan Jha, and Kushal Malla holds the key in batting while Karan KC and death over specialist Abinash Bohara will be crucial with the ball. The big news for them is that their best bowler, Sandeep Lamichhane has sorted out his Visa issues and will be available from now on which is huge for them. They have enough quality in their side to challenge the Lankans and who knows, maybe knock them out as well. Stay tuned for toss and team news in a bit.

10:33 PM IST Sri Lanka have been very disappointing so far in this World Cup. They lost to South Africa and then Bangladesh pipped them in a low-scoring thriller. The batters have let them down massively and needs to step up their game massively. Skipper Wanindu Hasaranga will be hoping for a better performance from his team. They have a pretty solid bowling attack and the likes of Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dushmantha Chameera should be a threat to the Nepal batters.
