After losing their first two games, the Wanindu Hasaranga-led Sri Lanka will be looking to turn things around when they will lock horns against Rohit Paudel’s Nepal at the Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida on Wednesday.

Where: 
Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida

When:
Sri Lanka vs Nepal: 5:00 A.M. (June 12)

What to expect: 
Rain poses a huge threat to Sri Lanka's hopes of fetching their first win. In terms of conditions, this will be the first match at this venue in this year's World Cup. The last time a T20I was played here in August 2023, West Indies chased down 166 against India with ease.
