Pitch Report
Analysis
Sri Lanka’s batting lineup has been a massive let down as a collective unit in the T20 World Cup 2024, with only Pathum Nissanka playing an innings of substance across their first two matches. In the bowling side of things, the likes of Nuwan Thushara and the captain Wanindu Hasaranga have taken a few wickets for the Sri Lankans, but their efforts didn’t prove to be enough because of the lack of runs on the board.
Meanwhile, in their T20 World Cup 2024 opener, the batting lineup of Nepal struggled except for their captain Rohit Paudel, who played a key role in ensuring that the team weren’t bundled out under a 100 against the Netherlands. The bowlers for Nepal managed to put the opposition in some trouble in the run chase with Sompal Kami and Dipendra Singh Airee picking up the wickets, but the lack of runs didn’t allow them to force a win in the contest.
