The Netherlands and Sri Lanka will clash in the 19th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday, October 21.
Netherlands
The Netherlands have been one of the surprise packages of the tournament so far. They stunned South Africa in their last match, chasing down a target of 316 with ease. Max O'Dowd (126) and Bas de Leede (71) starred with the bat, while Logan van Beek (4/53) and Pieter Seelaar (3/56) impressed with the ball.
The Netherlands will be confident of causing another upset against Sri Lanka. They have a good mix of experience and youth in their squad, and they are capable of playing some exciting cricket.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka have had a disappointing start to the tournament, losing their first three matches. They were outplayed by England in their opening match, and they were then beaten by Afghanistan and Australia.
Sri Lanka will be desperate to get their campaign back on track against the Netherlands. They have a number of world-class players in their squad, such as Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Maheesh Theekshana.
Head-to-head
Sri Lanka have a perfect record against the Netherlands in ODI cricket, winning all five of their encounters. However, the Netherlands have shown that they are capable of beating anyone on their day.
Prediction
Sri Lanka are the favorites to win this match, but the Netherlands are capable of causing an upset. If the Netherlands can bat first and post a big score, they will be difficult to beat. However, if Sri Lanka can get early wickets, they will be in a strong position to win the match.
Our prediction: Sri Lanka to win by 5 wickets.
