KATHMANDU: Today's highly anticipated ICC T20 World Cup cricket encounter between Nepal and Sri Lanka faced an unexpected obstacle as persistent rain forced its cancellation at the Broward County Ground in Florida. The match, which was originally set to commence at 5:15 AM, encountered continuous downpours, ultimately leading to the decision to call off the game. Consequently, both teams were awarded one point each as a result of the rain-induced draw.

With this turn of events, Nepal now finds itself with a total of one point from two matches, a tally that mirrors Sri Lanka's accumulation from three games. Despite the disappointment of the washout, this unexpected outcome presents a potential pathway for Nepal to progress to the next phase of the tournament.
