Cricket-Sri Lanka staring at early T20 World Cup exit after Florida washout The 2014 champions badly needed a win to keep their tournament hopes alive after defeats by South Africa and Bangladesh in their first two matches. Date mein Crickit, late mein Crickit! Catch the game anytime, anywhere on Crickit. Find out how Wanindu Hasaranga’s team are bottom of the group with just one point and look certain to crash out unless other results go their way. “It’s not going to be easy for us and it would be a miracle actually,” Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana said of their chances of advancing. They will conclude their group campaign against the Netherlands on Sunday and Theekshana acknowledged nothing had clicked for them in the 20-team tournament. “We didn’t bat well, we didn’t assess the conditions really well and our plans, everything went wrong,” the off-spinner said. Nepal are also winless after two matches and on Friday they face unbeaten group leaders South Africa, who sealed their place in the Super Eight after three straight victories. “Obviously we want the sun to shine and have a proper game,” Nepal coach Monty Desai told reporters. “We know that we are walking into the unknowns. We have never played South Africa before. “But at the same time, the morale in the camp …” Rain and thunderstorms are predicted for the remainder of the week during which India, Pakistan, Ireland and Canada have fixtures scheduled in Florida.

Nuwan Thushara took 4/18 from his four overs against Bangladesh and he is our tip for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker against Nepal.Captain Rohit Paudel hit 35 runs in Nepal’s total of 106 against the Netherlands and he is a strong choice for their highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. Fast medium bowler Sompal Kami took a wicket with his second ball of the game in Match 7 and he is well worth backing as Nepal’s top wicket taker in this game.With five wickets already in the tournament, we recommend selecting Nuwan Thushara to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.

Sri Lanka vs Nepal Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 23 of the 2024 T20 World Cup sees Sri Lanka take on Nepal at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill on Tuesday evening. Sri Lanka lost their two opening games of the tournament whilst Nepal have only played one match and were also beaten. Read on as we preview this game which begins on 12th June at 19:30 local time. Sri Lanka have been disappointing with the bat so far in this tournament and in both of their game their bowlers have not been able to recover the situation. They have a strong bowling attack and if the batters can stand up and perform in this game then they should have no problem in recording a win. Although they went down to a defeat, Nepal did show plenty of fight in the second innings with the ball against the Netherlands in Dallas. They are up against a strong bowling unit in this match though and scoring runs is a real issue against higher quality attacks. Sri Lanka vs Nepal Match Toss PredictionThe last two T20Is at this venue were won by the team fielding first and with this being the first game in Lauderhill of this T20 World Cup, we predict that both captains will want to see how the wicket plays before batting. Therefore, we expect both teams to want to field first. Sri Lanka vs Nepal Pitch ReportThis is a good batting pitch as seen in the last T20I here when West Indies chased down a target of 166 with only two wickets down and with 12 balls remaining. There could be some spin but overall there will be good carry for the pace bowlers throughout. Florida Weather ReportIt looks like being very warm and humid throughout Tuesday evening in Lauderhill but also with a constant threat of thunderstorms. The forecast does not change across the evening. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Sri Lanka vs Nepal, T20 World Cup 2024

Mustafizur Rahman took 6/10 in the third T20I against USA and he is well worth backing as Bangladesh’s top wicket taker against Sri Lanka.With a strike-rate of 13.5 in T20Is, we recommend selecting Wanindu Hasaranga to take over 1.5 wickets in this match.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 15 of the 2024 T20 World Cup sees Sri Lanka take on Bangladesh on Friday evening in Dallas, Texas. Sri Lanka were bowled out for their lowest T20I total against South Africa and lost by 6 wickets with 22 balls remaining in Match 4. For Bangladesh, this is their first game of the tournament. The match gets underway at the Grand Prairie Stadium at 20:30 local time on June 7th. Although it was a very tough opening fixture and they did not do themselves justice with the bat, there have been plenty of neutral observers who think Sri Lanka had a very hard job batting first on that pitch in New York. They will be looking to start again and put that game behind them in this match. After losing the series to USA, plenty of pundits wrote off Bangladesh’s chances straight away for this tournament. However, they have some excellent stroke-players in their batting order and if Mustafizur Rahman can bowl at his best then he can be unplayable. Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Match Toss PredictionThe first two matches at the Grand Prairie Stadium in this tournament were won by the team batting second and once again in the third match, USA won after a Super Over but also fielded first. We predict that both captains will want to field first in this game. Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Pitch ReportThe pitch is a little two-paced in Dallas but there will still be plenty of opportunities for six-hitting for batters who are in good form. Spinners are unlikely to get much turn from the surface at the Grand Prairie Stadium and a par score will be around 175-180. Dallas Weather ReportAccording to the weather forecast, it will be hot throughout this contest on Friday evening in Dallas. The temperature will be at 30 degrees at the start of the game before dropping to 28 later on and there is no chance of rain interrupting.

It is a day game there is no threat of dew as well so it will be a good idea to bat first and put runs on the board. SL vs SA Pitch ReportThe wicket at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium will be slightly tricky. It would assist the spinners in the middle overs while the lack of pace could make it hard to score off against bowlers who have a lot of variations up their sleeves. A score of 180 should be a good total to defend.

T20 World Cup Group D Preview: Bangladesh-Sri Lanka Battle Resumes, South Africa Aim To Impress

Danijones7 months ago015 mins

Dubai : Former ICC Men’s T20 World Cup champions Sri Lanka find themselves in Group D alongside South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Nepal for the upcoming tournament. This group promises thrilling matches with rivals Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, South Africa and Netherlands pitted against one another. While Nepal gears up for their second appearance in the marquee event, the group boasts no clear-cut favourite with history bearing witness that each team carries the potential to beat the other. Let’s run through the teams in this group and what we can expect from them. Bangladesh: Bangladesh enters the T20 World Cup with a bit of uncertainty as they continue to look for their strongest XI. Experienced opener Litton Das has been out of form of late with an average of 13.16 this year in six matches. Although teammate Tawhid Hridoy is confident that Das will make a strong comeback in the tournament. Another concern is the injury to vice-captain Taskin Ahmed and his fitness will be monitored prior to Bangladesh’s first contest against Sri Lanka on 7 June after he suffered a side strain before the final match of the recent series against Zimbabwe. The Tigers have backed experience. Other than Das, they have former Bangladesh skippers Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan who can provide Najmul Hossain Shanto much-needed support as he undertakes his first ICC tournament as the new captain. Squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Taskin Ahmed (Vice Captain), Litton Kumer Das, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah Riyad, Jaker Ali Anik, Tanvir Islam, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Travelling reserves: Afif Hossain, Hasan Mahmud Fixtures: 7 June: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, Dallas 10 June: South Africa vs Bangladesh, New York 13 June: Bangladesh vs Netherlands, St. Vincent 16 June: Bangladesh vs Nepal, St. Vincent Players to watch out for: In conditions that are expected to be slow with some assistance from spinners, Mustafizur Rahman’s skill set including deceptive off-cutters can turn out to be useful. Mustafizur has time and again proven to be a match-winner for Bangladesh. His control in the middle overs and effectiveness in the final overs with a recovering Taskin Ahmed make him a priceless inclusion. Nepal: Nepal will feature a young side at the T20 World Cup, with 21-year-old Rohit Paudel leading the team as captain. Paudel’s recent form against West Indies A in the lead up to the tournament is a big positive with scores of 112, 71*, and 82 in the series. Gulshan Jha, who appeared at the U19 World Cup earlier in the year, along with 19-year-old Pratis GC are the other young stars expected to bring fireworks. Sompal Kami, the fast bowling all-rounder, is the sole player from Nepal’s inaugural 2014 squad to feature in the 2024 edition, with veteran Karan KC joining him as the team’s senior member. This will mark Nepal’s second appearance in the tournament making them the least experienced side in the group. Squad: Rohit Paudel (c), Aasif Sheikh, Anil Kumar Sah, Kushal Bhurtel, Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Lalit Rajbanshi, Karan KC, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, Pratis GC, Sundeep Jora, Abinash Bohara, Sagar Dhakal, Kamal Singh Airee Fixtures: 4 June: Netherlands vs Nepal, Dallas 11 June: Sri Lanka vs Nepal, Florida 14 June: South Africa vs Nepal, St. Vincent 16 June: Bangladesh vs Nepal, St. Vincent Players to watch out for: The latest entrant in the six sixes club, Dipendra Singh Airee, comes in with a hard-hitting reputation. Dipendra bludgeoned six sixes in the ACC Men’s T20I Premier Cup clash against Qatar becoming only the third men’s player to do so in T20Is after Yuvraj Singh (2007) and Keiron Pollard (2021). He also is the current record holder of the fastest T20I fifty. The right-handed batter achieved this feat in nine balls, breaking Yuvraj’s record of 12 deliveries. The 24-year-old’s contribution in the middle overs can help Nepal put up a strong challenge in the group. Netherlands: The Netherlands have often brought the element of surprise in an ICC tournament. They have the edge over Proteas, beating them in the last two ICC Men’s tournaments – in the 2022 T20 World Cup and the 2023 Cricket World Cup. They will face South Africa again on 8 June in New York with the aim to complete a hat-trick of wins. 20-year-old Michael Levitt has found a place in the absence of Colin Ackermann after an impressive hundred against Namibia earlier this year. The Dutch have restored their core players for this edition with captain Scott Edwards, Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek, Max O’Dowd, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Vikram Singh and Wesley Barresi bringing the experience. Squad: Scott Edwards (c), Aryan Dutt, Bas de Leede, Daniel Doram, Fred Klaassen, Logan van Beek, Max O’Dowd, Michael Levitt, Paul van Meekeren, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Teja Nidamanuru, Tim Pringle, Vikram Singh, Viv Kingma, Wesley Barresi. Reserve: Kyle Klein Fixtures: 4 June: Netherlands vs Nepal, Dallas 8 June: Netherlands vs South Africa, New York 13 June: Bangladesh vs Netherlands, St. Vincent 16 June: Sri Lanka vs Netherlands, St. Lucia Players to watch out for: Bas de Leede has been instrumental for the Netherlands with both bat and ball. For his impressive performance last year, de Leede was awarded with the ICC Men’s Associate Cricketer of the Year. However, the 24-year-old all-rounder has played little T20I cricket of late, with his recent appearances in the tri-series with Scotland and Ireland being his first matches in the shortest format since 2022 at the most recent edition of the T20 World Cup. De Leede was one of the Netherlands’ best at the event where he finished as their leading wicket-taker with 13 scalps. South Africa: Perhaps the strongest side in this group and the tournament, South Africa have put together a strong squad. The batting line-up consists of experienced Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller and Reeza Hendricks who can bludgeon bowling attacks with Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs…
