Sri Lanka and Nepal will be playing against each other in the 23rd game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The game is scheduled to be played on Wednesday (June 11) at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida.
Both Sri Lanka and Nepal will be looking to open their account in the upcoming game. While Nepal were not really expected to progress ahead of the group stage in the tournament, Sri Lanka were one of the favourites to make it to the Super 8s from Group D. However, the Islanders are languishing at the bottom of the points table after losing their first two games.
They first suffered a six-wicket defeat against South Africa before losing against Bangladesh. As a result, their fate is not in their hands anymore. Even if they go on to win the remaining two games, they will have to rely on other results. But before that, they need to win the upcoming game against Nepal to keep their slim chances alive.
Nepal, on the other hand, have played just one game so far and ended up on the losing side in it. While they are not really expected to win the game against Sri Lanka, they will be fancying their chances against a Sri Lankan team that is low on confidence at the moment.

SL vs NEP Dream11 Prediction Today:
Captaincy picks:
Nuwan Thushara:
Nuwan Thushara’s performance has been one of the very few positives for Sri Lanka in an otherwise dismal captain in the T20 World Cup so far. In two games, the right-arm pacer has picked up 5 wickets including a four-wicket haul. He will be looking to make impact with the ball again.
Wanindu Hasaranga:
Wanindu Hasaranga will be desperate to lead his team from the front in the must-win clash. In two games, he has picked up four wickets and will be eyeing another good outing with the ball. A handy batter, Hasaranga will also be looking to contribute with the bat.
Top picks:
Pathum Nissanka:
Pathum Nissanka had a good outing with the bat against Sri Lanka. In a game where no other batter could score more than 40 runs, he scored 47 runs off 28 balls against Bangladesh. With form on his side, Nissanka would be looking to score big against Nepal as well.
Rohit Kumar Paudel:
Nepal captain Rohit Paudel led his team from the front with the bat in the last game against Netherlands. While none of his teammate could even touch the 20-run mark, he scored 35 runs with the help of five boundaries. Paudel will be looking to impress with the bat again.
