So, the rain has the final say in this contest! It's heartbreak for Nepali fans who assembled in Florida to witness their side play in the mega event and at Sano Gaucharan Stadium in Kathmandu to enjoy the live screening in the early morning.
That's all from this rain-washed contest from our side, folks! Do join us for the ongoing match between Australia and Namibia at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
For now, this is Deepak Prakash signing off on behalf of co-commentator Ajay Pal Singh and scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal. CHEERS!

South Africa become the first team to qualify for the Super 8s.
6 AM IST & 20:30 Local Time: The match has been officially called off!!!!! No play was possible due to inclement weather in Florida. The ground staff did their best but the rain has the final say in this contest. Both teams share a point in this Group D clash.
This washout has made things even more difficult for Sri Lanka now. Their chances of making it to the next round look very slim. They will face the Netherlands in their last group game and need to win by a big margin to take their net run-rate above other teams and hope other results go in their favour. They need the Bangladesh and Netherlands game to be a washout. Then hope Bangladesh lose to Nepal and Nepal then lose to South Africa.
For Nepal, the equation is tough but not impossible. They need to win both of their remaining games against South Africa and Bangladesh and hope the Dutch lose at least one of their remaining two fixtures.

4:40 AM IST, 19:10 Local Time: Seems like the rain has stopped! The Sri Lankan players can be seen out in the middle with bare feet, but there are plenty of water puddles in the outfield. Chris Silverwood and the other Sri Lankan coaching staff are taking a close look at the conditions.
The mopping work has begun. The on-air commentator says that it would take around 90 minutes to get the conditions ready, given there is no more rain.

4:32 AM IST, 19:02 Local Time: It's pouring at the venue and the live picture is not promising. The toss has been officially delayed due to rain. The cut-off time for a 5-over game is 10:47 PM Local (8:17 AM IST).
The only positive part is that the drainage at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium is good, and the groundsmen will take at least 30 to 45 minutes to get the conditions ready. So, for the 5-over shot, the rain has to stop around 10:00 PM Local (7:30 AM IST).

4:16 AM IST, 18:46 Local Time: While we wait for further updates from the venue, let's take a look at the qualification scenarios from Group D.
- If this game is washed out, then Sri Lanka will be out of contention for a place in the Super 8s. In that case, the max they can reach is 3 points and their net run-rate is already the worst among all the teams in their group.
- If we do get a game and Sri Lanka get a win, even then their chances of making it to the next round are very slim. They have to win big and rely on other results going in their favour.
- If Nepal pull off an upset and beat Sri Lanka, then not only they will knock out Sri Lanka from the World Cup but will also assure South Africa of a place in the next round.

3:57 AM IST, 18:27 Local Time: First things first, it has been raining heavily for the last few hours in Lauderhill, and the pitch is under covers. The ground has accumulated plenty of water and multiple puddles have been formed on the outfield. When the rain stops, it will take some time for the groundsmen to get the conditions ready. Fingers crossed.🤞

Preview by Ajay Pal Singh
The T20 World Cup 2024 action moves to Lauderhill, Florida as Sri Lanka are all set to take on Nepal in a Group D clash on Wednesday (June 12).
Both teams have had the worst possible start to their campaign. Nepal lost their opening encounter against the Netherlands while Sri Lanka have played two matches and lost both to South Africa and Bangladesh respectively.
If Sri Lanka lose this game, they will become the first team to be officially knocked out of the tournament.
In their last match, the Lankan Lions suffered a heart breaking defeat in the penultimate over to Bangladesh.
Batting first, Sri Lanka posted 124 for 9 in their 20 overs after being sent into bat first by Bangladesh skipper Najmal Hossain-Shanto.
Mustafizur Rahman and Rishad Hossan took three wickets apiece to help Bangladesh restrict Sri Lanka to an under-par score in Dallas, Texas.
Pathum Nissanka was the top-scorer for Sri Lanka with a fine knock of 47 off 28. They lost their last five wickets for just 23 runs.
With the ball, Sri Lanka made early inroads and managed to restrict Bangladesh to 34 for 3 in Powerplay.
A 63-run partnership between Towhid Hridoy and Litton Das for the fourth wicket steadied the ship for Bangladesh.
Lanka skipper Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed both batters and brought Sri Lanka back in the contest.
However, the experienced Mahamudullah held his nerves and got Bangladesh over the line, handing Sri Lanka their second successive defeat in the tournament.
Nepal, on the other hand, are coming into the match after a long break. Their last fixture was exactly a week ago against the Netherlands.
In that game, Nepal were bowled out for 109 after being sent into bat by the Dutch skipper Scott Edwards.
Captain Rohit Paudel fought a lone battle and made 35 off 37 but none of the other batters managed to get going. Tim Pringle and Logan van Beek both claimed three wickets each.
Paul van Meekeren and Bas de Leede took two wickets apiece to bowl out Nepal for a paltry total.
Max O'Dowd led the chase with a fine unbeaten half-century and he got support from Vikramjit Singh (22), Sybrand Engelbrecht (14) as the Netherlands got over the line with 8 balls to spare.
Which team will get their first win of the tournament? To find out, tune in at 4 AM IST & 6:30 PM (Tuesday) Local Time for its live coverage.
