SL vs NEP Match Toss Prediction
The team that fielded first won the previous two T20Is played at this location, and since this is the first game of the T20 World Cup in Lauderhill, both captains will want to see how the wicket plays before batting. Accordingly, we anticipate that the two groups should need to handle first.
SL VS NEP Pitch Report
This is a good batting surface, as evidenced by the fact that West Indies achieved a target of 166 with just 12 balls remaining in the previous T20I played here. There may be some spin, but overall the pace bowlers will have good carry throughout.
Florida Weather Report
Tuesday evening appears to be very warm and humid in Lauderhill, with a constant threat of thunderstorms. The forecast stays the same throughout the evening.

SL VS NEP Betting Tips
Our pick for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer in this match is opening batter Pathum Nissanka, who scored 47 runs from 28 balls in the previous match. Our pick for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker against Nepal is Nuwan Thushara, who took 4/18 from his four overs against Bangladesh.
Nepal’s captain Rohit Paudel, who scored 35 runs in their 106-run victory over the Netherlands, is a strong candidate to be their highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. Quick medium bowler Sompal Kami took a wicket with his second chunk of the game in Match 7 and he is definitely worth supporting as Nepal’s top wicket taker in this game.
We recommend selecting Nuwan Thushara to take more than 1.5 wickets in this match because the tournament already has five wickets taken by him.
SL Team News
Despite the fact that Sri Lanka right now appear as though they have next to no possibility of advancing to the Super Eights, there is as yet a thin open door so we don’t anticipate seeing any crew players given an open door only for experience. The team has not been informed of any injuries.
NEP Team News
Following the team’s loss in Dallas, management will need to take a good look at the pitch to see if the line up needs to be changed for this match. Nepal, on the other hand, is only one game into the tournament, so we anticipate that they will field the same team for this match.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka has lost three of their last four Twenty20 International matches.
NEP Team Form
NEP Team Form has lost their last three games to Hong Kong, the Netherlands, and the UAE.

Sri Lanka vs Nepal Betting Odds
SL are the staggering top picks to dominate this game in Lauderhill and can be upheld at 1.10. Nepal are the pariahs, estimated at 6.50.
Who will win the Sri Lanka vs Nepal Match?
Even though Sri Lanka’s fans have been disappointed by their team’s defeats in their first two games, their squad and first team are significantly stronger heading into this one.
SL VS NEP Top Team Batsmen
For Sri Lanka, we recommend Charith Asalanka, Pathum Nissanka, and Dhananjaya de Silva. Dhananjaya has scored a century in 12 Test matches and more than 50 in 27 international matches. Sri Lanka will need him to score a lot in this match because he has been in excellent form leading up to this tournament. In his 49 T20I innings, Nissanka has scored ten runs or more with 50 or more.
Our first choices for Nepal are Anil Sah, Rohit Paudel, and Aasif Sheikh. Sheikh, 22, is an opener and keeper-batter who has scored 64 not out in this format and four scores of 50 or more in T20I cricket. In domestic T20 cricket, Captain Paudel’s highest score is 112 and his strike rate in T20I cricket is 123.70.
SL vs NEP Top Team Bowlers
Sri Lanka’s bowlers are Wanindu Hasaranga, Nuwan Thushara, and Matheesha Pathirana, who are members of the NEP’s top team. Pathirana got the enormous wicket of Shakib Al Hasan against Bangladesh and the 21 year old right-arm quick bowler has a strike-pace of 13.3 in T20I cricket. Hasaranga is four dismissals away from taking 200 international wickets and will benefit from the turn and bounce of this Lauderhill pitch.
Dipendra Singh Airee, Karan KC, and Sompal Kami are our Nepali bowling picks. Singh Airee can bowl medium pacers and high-quality offspin, so we might see him bowl in different ways at different points in the game. In the defeat to the Netherlands, he dismissed Vikramjit Singh. Kami has a best T20I score of 3/20. He has taken 59 wickets in T20Is.
Conclusion
Sri Lanka VS Nepal this match could be decided by which bowling attack has the best day. Both batting line-ups have failed to meet expectations in the 2024 T20 World Cup and Sri Lanka positively have players who have made large scores on the world stage previously. We anticipate Sri Lanka to have too much talent and to win this game, but we also anticipate Nepal to have trouble bowling.
