Sri Lanka vs Netherlands Predictions

Sri Lanka have won six of their seven CWC Qualification matches by large margins. Their only truly competitive match has been against the Netherlands when they met in the Super Sixes. Sri Lanka scraped home by 21 runs in that match.

Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka (394 runs) is 2nd in the CWC Qualifiers runs list.
Sri Lanka’s Dimuth Karunaratne has scored 52, 61*, 103, 33, 30 & 83 in his 7 CWC Qualifiers innings.
Netherlands’ Bas de Leede has scored 41*, 33, 41, 39 & 123 in his last 5 innings.
Netherlands’ Vikramjit Singh has scored 30, 37, 110 & 40 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

Sri Lanka have won all four one-day internationals between the two sides.

Sri Lanka Form

Sri Lanka made it seven wins from seven when they beat the West Indies in their last Super Sixes match.

Sri Lanka restricted the West Indies to 243, bowling them out off 48.1 overs. Maheesh Theekshana (4/34) was the pick of the Sri Lanka bowlers.

Sri Lanka raced to victory off 44.2 overs for the loss of just two wickets. Pathum Nissanka (104) and Dimuth Karunaratne (83) put on 190 for the first wicket.

Sri Lanka Team News

Sri Lanka’s form with bat and ball has been superb this tournament and they will be hard to beat.

Netherlands Form

The Netherlands made it two wins in a row when they beat Scotland in their final Super Sixes match. The win secured second place for the Dutch ahead of the Scots, who went into the match in second place.

Scotland scored 277/9 off their 50 overs, with Bas de Leede snatching 5/52 off his 10 overs.

The Netherlands raced to victory off 42.5 overs for the loss of six wickets, their net run rate having improved enough to finish ahead of Scotland. Bas de Leede followed up his superb bowling display by top-scoring with 123 off 92 balls.

Netherlands Team News

The Netherlands will be looking for another superb all-round performance from Bas de Leede, as well as for their top-order to keep scoring runs.

Verdict

Sri Lanka v Netherlands

I am backing Sri Lanka to win. I am also backing Pathum Nissanka to top score for Sri Lanka.

Bas de Leede is a good bet to top score for Netherlands.
