Sri Lanka vs The Netherlands Predictions
Sri Lanka have won their last three T20I series 2-1 (against Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Bangladesh) and have been performing well with bat and ball. The Netherlands’ form has been patchy of late, with their batting in particular being highly inconsistent. Sri Lanka should pick up a big win in this warmup match.
- Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis has scored 59, 36 & 86 in his last 3 T20I innings.
- Sri Lanka’s Sadeera Samarawickrama top-scored with 61* off 48 balls in the win over Bangladesh.
- The Netherlands’ Max O'Dowd has scored 30, 33 & 60 in his last 3 T20I innings.
- The Netherlands’ Michael Levitt has scored 43, 19 & 39 in his last 4 innings.
Head-to-Head
The two nations have met three times in T20Is, with Sri Lanka winning all three of those matches.
Sri Lanka Form
Sri Lanka completed a 2-1 T20I series win over Bangladesh away from home, with a 28-run win in the 3rd T20I.
Kusal Mendis (86 off 55 balls, six fours, six sixes) batted through to the 17th over to lead Sri Lanka to a competitive 174/7, with none of his team-mates reaching 20.
Nuwan Thushara picked-up a third-over hat-trick and knocked over four of Bangladesh’s top six wickets as Bangladesh were reduced to 24/5 in the sixth over. Bangladesh were bowled out for 146 in the 20th over, with Thushara ending with figures of 5/20 (econ 5.00).
Sri Lanka Team News
Sri Lanka have been performing well as a unit and are unlikely to change their starting XI so close to the World Cup.
The Netherlands Form
The Netherlands finished bottom of the table in the Tri-Nations series they hosted in late May, competing against Ireland and Scotland. They won one match and lost their other three.
In their last match of the series they lost to Ireland by three runs in a thrilling finish. Ireland scored 161/6 off their 20 overs, Logan van Beek (2/26, econ 6.50) knocking over two of the Irish top six.
The Netherlands got off to a good start through Michael Levitt (39), Max O'Dowd (60) and Vikramjit Singh (27) and were well on track for the win after the 17th over, but three tight overs at the end allowed Ireland to snatch the win.
The Netherlands Team News
The Netherlands batting hasn’t been supporting their bowlers enough and need to provide more consistency.
Verdict
I am backing Sri Lanka to win. I am also backing Kusal Mendis to top score for Sri Lanka.
Max O'Dowd is a good bet to top score for The Netherlands.
Sri Lanka win
