Heavy rain washed out the pivotal Group D fixture between Sri Lanka and Nepal in the T20 World Cup, a development that ultimately cemented South Africa's place in the Super 8 stage.

The match was abandoned without a ball being bowled, forcing both teams to settle for just a point each. This result severely undermines their chances, propelling them towards an early exit from the tournament.

With three wins from three matches, South Africa topped Group D, securing a berth in the Super 8. Group runner-up Bangladesh also holds a strong position ahead of the Netherlands on net run rate.

Nepal is set to face South Africa on Saturday followed by a match against Bangladesh on Monday in Kingstown, St. Vincent.

Sri Lanka's chances of qualifying are the slimmest, with only one remaining fixture against the Netherlands in St. Lucia on Monday.
