SL vs NED: Sri Lanka will take on the Netherlands in a Group A fixture at Sharjah Cricket Stadium for Match 12 of the T20 World Cup.
The Netherlands are walking into this encounter with a disappointing loss against Namibia. Max O’Dowd starred with the bat with his brilliant 56-ball 70, which helped the Netherlands get to a total of 164/4. In reply, David Wiese took the bowlers to the cleaners and scored an astonishing 40-ball unbeaten 66. He helped Namibia chase the total and win the match by 6 wickets and was later adjudged as the Man of the match.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka played Ireland in their previous encounter. Wanindu Hasaranga (71) & Pathum Nissanka (61) put up a stellar performance with the bat and helped the Lankans post a brilliant total of 171/7. Joshua Little starred with the ball for Ireland, picking up 4/23. While chasing, Ireland was down in the dumps in their battle with the bowlers as they got bundled out for a mere 101. In the end, Sri Lanka won the match by 70 runs.
In this upcoming encounter, Sri Lanka’s hold the undue advantage over the Netherlands as they’re a much stronger and better side when it comes to performing and with a win on their back, it’ll provide a lot of confidence.
