After finishing ninth on the points table with just two wins in the disappointing ODI World Cup 2023 in India, Sri Lanka will be hopeful of a good 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the United States. (More Cricket News)
The Asian Giants come into the tournament on the back of a multi-format series against Bangladesh. In the T20 leg of the contest, they took the three-match series 2-1, winning the decider.
However, a shock defeat to the Netherlands in their first-warm-up game could be a much-needed reality check for the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side. They are one of the two favourites to qualify from Group D along with South Africa.
They start the tournament with back-to-back games against South Africa and Bangladesh, which are relatively difficult in terms of the quality. If they manage to get points, the country will breathe easy going into the remainder of the tournament.
Sri Lanka In Group D
Sri Lanka are in Group D with their rivals Bangladesh, South Africa, Nepal, and Netherlands. They will play Bangladesh on June 8 in Dallas.
