NEP vs SL - Toss Factor

The pitch reports suggests that the surface initially helps the batters, but as the game progresses, it slows down, letting the spinners come in and control the game. The skipper winning the toss would not mind fielding first on this pitch and restricting the opponent to a chase-able target.

Scenario: If Nepal win the toss

Nepal will bowl first after winning the toss. In their T20 World Cup 2024 opener, the batting line-up of Nepal struggled except for their captain Rohit Paudel, who played a key role in ensuring that the team weren’t bundled out under a 100 against the Netherlands. Other than Paudel, Anil Shah and Kushal Malla will be the key batters. The bowlers for Nepal managed to put the opposition in some trouble in the run chase, with Sompal Kami, Abinash Bohara and Dipendra Singh Airee picking up the wickets in the last match.

Scenario: If Sri Lanka win the toss

Sri Lanka is expected to set target for the opponent if they win the toss. Sri Lanka’s batting line-up has been a massive letdown as a collective unit in the T20 World Cup 2024.

NEP vs SL Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Nepal field First

Dipendra Singh Airee (NEP): Dipendra Singh Airee is the best all-rounder from his team. Airee can be a utility with the ball and lower down the batting order. His all-round ability makes him the top pick for the captain/vice captain role.

Pathum Nissanka (SL): Pathum Nissanka has been in good form. If Sri Lanka are looking to register their first win of the tournament, a lot will depend on Pathum Nissanka. He is a great fit for this category.

Scenario: If Sri Lanka field First

Wanindu Hasaranga (SL): Ace spinner Wanindu Hasaranga could be the best bowler in the upcoming clash against Nepal. With 15 wickets to his name in eight matches, Hasaranga’s form will be key for Sri Lanka.

Nuwan Thushara (SL): Nuwan Thushara picked-up four wickets in two matches so far in this competition and he will be a big threat for Nepal in this match.

NEP vs SL High Risk, High Rewards

Rohit Paudel (NEP): Star batter Rohit Paudel is a reliable performer, Rohit Paudel's knack for impactful contributions with bat makes him a key player for his team. He scored 35 runs in the last match.

Angelo Mathews (SL): Angelo Mathews's experience and all-round abilities would be crucial for Sri Lanka in this upcoming match but he is not consistent which makes him a risky yet worthy choice for this game.

NEP vs SL Stay Aways

Aasif Sheikh (NEP): Aasif Sheikh scored only four runs in the last match, and in warm-up game, he has scored 22 runs in one innings. Considering his recent form he could well be avoided for this fixture.
