Sri Lanka’s Bowling Coach Urges Tactical Adaptation as Team Faces Must-Win Clash Against Nepal

With two defeats in New York and Dallas, Sri Lanka now arrive in Florida to take on Nepal in a game they cannot afford to lose. Despite their struggles, the conditions in Group D have been unpredictable, contributing to low-scoring games across the board. No team has scored more than Sri Lanka’s 124 batting first.

Sri Lankan fast bowling coach Aqib Javed highlighted the challenging pitch conditions: “We were the first ones who’d gone through this process. Now people are realizing how unpredictable the pitches are.” He mentioned that even the pitch in Dallas, considered one of the best in the country, surprised many teams.

Despite their two losses, Sri Lanka still has a chance to qualify for the next stage if they win their next two games and if Bangladesh and Netherlands each lose at least one of their next two. Javed stressed the importance of adapting to the conditions and being cautious, especially for the batters.

Sri Lanka’s bowling has been a bright spot, with their varied attack keeping them competitive. Javed praised the bowlers for their performances, particularly their ability to challenge strong batting line-ups despite defending low totals.
