Group D leaders advanced to the Super Eight

The T20 World Cup match between Sri Lanka and Nepal in Florida was abandoned due to heavy rain and a waterlogged outfield. This outcome resulted in Group D leaders South Africa, who have won all three of their matches, being the first team to progress to the Super Eight stage of the tournament.

Persistent rain throughout the day, coupled with flood warnings in the region, led to challenging playing conditions. Despite a temporary break in the weather, efforts to dry the field proved futile. After an hour of attempting to remove standing water, officials made the decision to call off the game, disappointing both teams and the enthusiastic Nepalese fans present at the Central Broward Stadium. Consequently, the points were shared between Sri Lanka and Nepal.

For Sri Lanka, who had previously suffered defeats against South Africa and Bangladesh, this result puts them on the brink of mathematical elimination from the competition. Meanwhile, Nepal, who lost their opening game against the Netherlands, faced another setback with the match abandonment.

With a flawless record of six points from three matches, the Proteas lead Group D. Bangladesh and the Netherlands trail behind with two points each from two games played.
