SL vs NED: Match Preview:

In an important fixture of the T-20 World Cup, Sri Lanka will compete against the in-form Netherlands on Thursday, October 20 at Geelong.

Both teams are looking composed but the Dutch are on a winning spree with two wins in the same number of matches. Whereas Sri Lanka faced a shocking defeat at the hands of Namibia but came back strongly against UAE.

In the match against UAE, Sri Lanka batted first, and with the gallant inning of 74 runs which came off the bat of the opener, Pathum Nissanka provided Sri Lanka a good platform to set a good total of 154 runs.

Apart from Nissanka, Dhananjaya De Silva played a supporting role with his 33 runs in 21 balls.

Then came Sri Lanka with the bowl, demolished UAE's backbone, and bowled them out for 73 runs in 17/1 overs. Pacer Dushamantha and allrounder Wanindu Hasaranga came as the ongoing bowlers with their amazing figures of 3/15 in 3.5 overs and 3/8 with 1 maiden over respectively.

Other Lankan bowlers Theekshana (2/15 in 3.1 overs), Madushan (1/14 in 3 overs), and Shanaka (1/7 in 1.1 overs) also contributed to the team's winning cause.

The Netherlands on the other hand is playing predictably well as they won both the matches played so far beating UAE by 3 wickets in the first match and Namibia in the second by 5 wickets.

Till now Bad De Leede has been the ace player for the Dutch side, while Vikramjit and Max ODowd have impressed with the bat. Bowlers have also executed their plans well in both games. Pringle and Merve are the key bowlers for the team.
