Sri Lanka vs Netherlands Team Preview

Sri Lanka

Dasun Shanaka’s team hasn’t made a single mistake in this competition. They were one of the favorites when they came here, and they have lived up to that expectation. In their most recent match against the West Indies, which they won by 8 wickets, the team put on a convincing performance. They would aim to maintain their current performance and gracefully qualify for the World Cup.  

The team would anticipate a strong performance from Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne after their 190-run partnership in the previous game. The team will be counting on Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, and Charith Asalanka to form partnerships in this match because they have a strong middle order.

Netherlands

For Scott Edwards’ team, the campaign has been noteworthy. They lost when the competition began, but since then, they have won over Scotland and the West Indies to secure their place in the 2018 World Cup. The team performed admirably in the crucial match against Scotland, winning by 4 wickets. They had previously lost to Sri Lanka, thus a victory here would greatly boost their confidence.  

The team will anticipate a solid start from Max O’Dowd and Vikramjit Singh in this game since they are both in terrific form at the top. Bas de Leede, who recently scored a stunning hundred, will try to succeed in the middle order alongside Teja Nidamanuru and Wesley Barresi.

Harare Sports Club

In this competition, we have witnessed some fantastic batting surfaces. At the beginning of the morning game, there is some support for the bowlers, but as the game goes on, the circumstances get better. Therefore, the team that wins the toss here won’t think twice about bowling first.

On July 9, Harare will see the clear sky.

We have witnessed high-scoring games, and the wicket is favorable for batting. We anticipate that the ball will land nicely on the bat, enabling batters to execute their strokes. The track will be difficult for bowlers. The team batting first must attempt to score 300 or more runs.
