After Sri Lanka and Nepal’s washout, South Africa has become the first side to formally qualify for the Super 8 phases of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka is in danger of being eliminated as a result of the outcome, which has also significantly reduced their prospects of moving further.
Before the game, the weather in Lauderhill, Florida, was predicted to play spoiler, and finally, the rains prevented even a single delivery from being bowled. Now that South Africa has won two of their last three games, they lead the group.
After losing to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka’s chances of winning this match were always slim. After suffering two straight defeats, Sri Lanka had to win their remaining games and hope for better fortune. With just one point from three games, the washout has now placed them on the bench. On June 16, they will play their last group match against the Netherlands.
Sadly, there was no action in Lauderhill today as the weather forced the match to be abandoned, resulting in a draw between Sri Lanka and Nepal.
With all of the teams hoping to advance to the Super Eights, this outcome definitely creates some fascinating possibilities for Group D.
