The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match between Sri Lanka and Nepal at Central Broward Regional Park in Florida has been officially abandoned due to heavy rain and flood warnings in Lauderhill.
This unfortunate turn of events significantly impacts both teams’ chances of progressing to the Super Eights stage.
Washed away T20 World Cup dreams
Despite tireless efforts from ground staff and the unwavering spirit of passionate Nepalese fans who braved the elements, the persistent rain and subsequent flooding made the game unplayable.
This abandonment likely dashes Sri Lanka‘s hopes of advancing further in the tournament. Nepal, also seeking their first win, now faces an even steeper climb in Group D.

The Proteas have already secured their place in the next round, making this a must-win fixture for the Asian team if they want to stay alive in the competition.
Sri Lanka final fixture: Glimmer of hope?
Sri Lanka’s final game against the Netherlands on June 17th remains, but their qualification path has become incredibly narrow. Mathematically, a chance exists, but they would need a significant change in fortunes and other results to go their way.
