Nepal captain Rohit Paudel expressed confidence in his team's ability to potentially cause an upset against Sri Lanka in their upcoming Men's T20 World Cup match on Wednesday (IST). He highlighted that past instances of associate teams defeating full members have motivated his side for a win. While it will be Nepal's second game, having enjoyed a week’s break after their opening defeat to the Netherlands in Dallas.
But, the upcoming match holds greater significance for Sri Lanka, who are on the edge of elimination after suffering defeats in their first two matches. "The 20 teams are equally balanced. And yeah, (our plans is) just go out and express ourselves.
(Watching other upsets) is the motivation for all of us, especially moving forward to tomorrow's game. As a team we believe that we are going to win tomorrow and the way we have been preparing the last couple of months, and the way we have been playing for the last year and a half, I think the belief is always there in their team," Paudel was quoted by ICC. Paudel feels the break has helped his side to assess match trends and conditions from the outside looking in.
"The gap (between games) is very good, especially to prepare ourselves as you can see after we lost against The Netherlands. "It’s helpful for us, especially to prepare and adapt to this situation, and I believe that we have utilised the sessions here and we are very well prepared for tomorrow's game." On the other side, Sri Lanka hope the move to Florida .
