Top Three Player-battle in SL vs NEP Clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024
1. Pathum Nissanka vs Sompal Kami
Pathum Nissanka played a brilliant innings against Bangladesh in the last game of 47 runs. But other batters failed to score runs. However, he will be looking to give his team a good start as Nepal is not known for his strong bowling attack. That is where Nissanka can take advantage and do well with the bat to put his team on the top. Meanwhile, Nepal’s all-rounder Sompal Kami had a good match against Netherlands where he bowled a spell of 1/18. He bowled at a decent length and controlled his line. He has been on the international circuit since 2014 and knows what it takes to perform on the big stage. Hence, Nepal will expect him to take some early wickets.
2. Rohit Kumar Paudel vs Wanindu Hasaranga
Nepal’s captain Rohit Kumar Paudel was the only batter who looked in control in the game against Netherlands. He played some good shots and scored 35 runs. He is currently their best batter and likes to take on the bowlers to keep the run rate going. Rohit has good numbers against pace but his weakness against spinners might be exploited when he faces the opposition captain Wanindu Hasaranga. The Sri Lankan spinner has different kinds of variations and knows how to deceive the batter. So this will be great to see how these two captains perform against each other.
3. Kushal Bhurtel vs Nuwan Thushara
Kushal Bhurtel has been one of the most important batters in Nepal’s lineup. He is a crucial member because whenever he has given good starts to the team, they have done well. As an opener, his record is also good and he will be looking to do well here in the coming game against Sri Lanka. But that won’t be easy because he has to face Nuwan Thushara, who has been at his best. He bowls a bit like Lasith Malinga and swings the ball at a good speed. That is where he deceives the batters. So this will be a big challenge for Bhurtel and other batters.
