Check out the complete details for Sri Lanka vs Netherlands match number 38 of the T20 World Cup 2024 to be played in St. Lucia.
Preview
Group D matches are set to end on Sunday, with Sri Lanka taking on Netherlands in St. Lucia. It has been a terrible campaign for the Sri Lankans as they crashed out of the tournament after their match against Nepal was rained out. The Netherlands, on the other hand, still has faint hopes of making it to the Super -8 stages if Nepal can beat Bangladesh in the other encounter.
Sri Lanka (SL) came into the T20 World Cup 2024 with high hopes. In the end, those hopes were dashed thanks to the abysmal batting performance by the 2014 T20 World Cup winners. Barring Pathum Nissanka and Nuwan Thusara, none of the players stood up and showed their real talents on the field.
Netherlands (NED) has been one of the most dynamic sides in ICC events in recent times. The team is filled with youth and experience, and their natural flair on the field makes them an exciting bunch. After starting the campaign with a win over Nepal, the Dutch saw their campaign come apart with losses to South Africa and Bangladesh.

Pitch Report
St Lucia is well known for his big scores with the bat, and the batters enjoy the amazing conditions. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first and make use of the best time to bat before the seamers start having their say with the ball under lights.
Captains
The 29-year-old pacer was at his best with the ball as he picked 4/18 from his 4 overs. This spell nearly swung the game back in favor of Sri Lanka and nearly pulled off a win.
Young Aryan Dutt is slowly becoming a very good T20 bowler and his ability to prize out wickets with his penetrative bowling against the left-handers makes his a dangerous prespect.
Top
Young opening batter Pathum Nissanka has been a crucial player for his team across formats. His 47 against Bangladesh showed his class and his importance at a time when none of the other batters failed to put a decent score on the board.
Paul van Meekeren NED | BOWL- 8
The veteran pacer was at his best with his incisive bowling against Bangladesh were he picked 2/15 from his 4 overs. Paul Van Meekeren will look to trouble the Lankan batting on what will be a helpful wicket in St. Lucia.
Budget
21 runs with the bat and 1/11 from 2 overs with the ball was how Dhananjaya De Silva performed with the bat against Bangladesh. With just pride to play for Sri Lanka will hope De Silva can rescue them once again help them win against the Dutch side.
Vikramjit Singh NED | all- 6
The young left-handed batter was quiet severe on the Bangladeshi spinners. Vikramjit Singh has the talent to hit the big ball and score a quick pace to put the opposition under pressure.
