TEAMS PREVIEW
Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka have now been eliminated from the T20 World Cup in the first round itself. They lost their first two group matches to South Africa and Bangladesh and their third game against Nepal was washed out. The Lankans have no one but themselves to blame for their situation. While their bowling has been decent, their batters just didn’t turn up this time.
Pathum Nissanka tops their batting charts in the tournament with 50 runs in 2 games at a strike rate of 139. 47 of those runs came in the match against Bangladesh.
No other batter has crossed even 40 runs so far in the team. The experienced Angelo Mathews has been the next best batter for the Lankans, with 32 runs in 2 games at a strike rate of 91.42.
Sri Lanka would be hoping for some valuable runs from Kusal Mendis, who has been out of touch. However, the opening wicket-keeper batter is one of their best players and a big knock is just around the corner.
The team’s bowling has been led by captain Wanindu Hasaranga, who has taken 4 wickets in 2 innings at an economy of 7.36. Nuwan Thushara’s 4-18 in the match against Bangladesh showed that he can do well on these pitches. Thushara’s new ball spell against the Netherlands will be crucial as he has the ability to take out a few top-order wickets.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana, Nuwan Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana
Sri Lanka Actual Playing XI:
Angelo Mathews, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanidu Hasaranga, Kusal Mendis, Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Nuwan Thushara
Netherlands Preview
Netherlands will be kicking themselves for mes their previous game against Bangladesh. They were well on course to chase a target of 160, needing 56 off 36 with 7 wickets in hand. But things fell apart for them rather quickly, and they ended up losing the game by 25 runs.
Netherlands are now in third place with 2 points and a NRR of -0.408. They will need a huge win against Sri Lanka and have to hope many other things go their way.
Sybrand Engelbrecht has been the team’s most successful batter in the tournament, scoring 87 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 105. He is followed by Max O'Dowd, who has 68 runs in 3 innings at 97.14.
Vikramjit Singh (60 runs in 3 innings at 98) is another batter you can back in this game.
Among the bowlers, Logan van Beek (5 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of 7.23) has been excellent as usual. He has been ably ed by Tim Pringle and Paul van Meekeren, who both have 4 wickets each.
Netherlands Predicted Playing XI:
Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Vivian Kingma

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is like a typical West Indian surface. It’s usually great for batting at the start of the innings, but as the match progresses, the pitch slows down and the ball doesn’t come on easily to the bat. Spinners will find help during the middle overs, when the ball grips the surface a little. However, the pitch is expected to be fresh and hard, and batters will mostly have a great time here. Seamers will have to depend on their variations to get the most out of the surface.
A thunderstorm in spots is expected in the morning in St. Lucia. However, it will be partly cloudy and breezy for the most part. We should get a full game.

The highest run chased achieved here is Australia’s 197-7 against Pakistan in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.
Toss: To Bat
This will be the second match of the tournament to be played here. The wicket should be fresh and good for batting. We reckon the team winning the toss will look to bat first and put on a big total on the board.

Winning Prediction
Sri Lanka enjoys a perfect record against the Netherlands, having triumphed in all three of their prior T20I meetings against the men in orange. While the Sri Lankan team's overall tournament performance has been less than stellar, their experience positions them favorably against a relatively inexperienced Netherlands squad. The sluggish pitch is expected to benefit the Sri Lankan bowlers, particularly their spinners, who are likely to pose a significant challenge to the Netherlands' batters. Hasaranga's bowling spell, in particular, could be very difficult for the opposition to navigate.
However, it would be imprudent to underestimate the Netherlands. This team has a history of defeating higher-ranked opponents and has the potential to push Sri Lanka in this encounter. Ultimately, the Netherlands' batting unit, which has exhibited weaknesses throughout the tournament, may once again prove to be their Achilles' heel.
Sri Lanka are favorites to win this clash.
