Sri Lanka have started the tournament with losses to South Africa and Bangladesh. If the game against South Africa was a one-sided affair, the match against Bangladesh saw the Lankans lose a close contest. Only a big win in terms of runs or balls will keep Sri Lanka in contention for a place in the Super 8 stages.
Nepal came into the tournament as one of the most exciting teams in the tournament. In their opening match against Netherlands they were outplayed by the Dutch side with both the bat and ball. On what is expected to be a better pitch in Florida, Nepal batters will fancy their chances and want to put on a good show against the Sri Lankans.

Pitch report
The surface at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill is one that supports the batters. However, as the game progresses, the pitch has slowed down, assisting the spinners. Opting to bat first and posting a big total on the board could be the optimal decision.
