SL vs NED Preview

The Netherlands will be less confident because they have never previously defeated Sri Lanka.
The players will be confident because Sri Lanka defeated the United Arab Emirates by a score of 79 runs before to this game.
The Netherlands’ middle order hasn’t been playing well, therefore they rely on their top order to bring victories.

In Round One of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands square off in Match 9 at Kardinia Park on Thursday afternoon. After losing to Namibia in their initial game, Sri Lanka recovered by defeating UAE by a score of 79 runs on Tuesday. So far, the Netherlands has prevailed in both games. At 15:00 local time in Geelong, the game begins.

Particularly after reaching 117-2 with more than five overs remaining, Sri Lanka was dissatisfied with their score of 152-8 against UAE. They did have outstanding bowling, though, and they should be good enough to defeat the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is on the verge of making it to the Super 12 Stage after defeating the UAE and Namibia. A victory over Sri Lanka may not be possible in this contest, which will turn out to be their most challenging of the opening round.

SL vs NED Pitch Report

On this surface, fast bowlers have often had the most success, however, spinners have also been highly dangerous. Any score higher than 160 ought to be defended.

Sri Lanka Team News & Probable Playing XIs

During the victory over UAE on Tuesday night, Dushmantha Chameera suffered a calf injury, and Danushka Gunatilleke suffered a hamstring strain. As a result, neither player is expected to be fit for this game. We anticipate Binura Fernando to replace Chameera in the starting lineup because Gunatilleke missed the game on Tuesday.

Sri Lanka is the favorite to win this match.

This match should be of the highest caliber given that Sri Lanka is back in form and that the Netherlands are going for their third consecutive triumph. Despite the fact that Sri Lanka’s spinners are on a different level, both nations have strong bowling lineups. We believe Sri Lanka will prevail.
