Netherlands have clinched a massive upset victory against South Africa opening up the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. South Africa, who looked at their best in the first two matches were handed a convincing defeat by the Dutch and now no team can take them lightly as a slip up would be very much possible. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, let go very good start against Australia and suffered a sudden collapse from where a recovery was extremely difficult. They struck Australia with the ball early but it was never going to be enough.

Netherlands have been tactically spot on. Against South Africa, they had clear plans against every batter, how they will put them under pressure and what the conditions demanded. They executed those plans perfectly and will definitely carry on with their methodical preparations in the next game against Sri Lanka. Their batting hasn't fired yet as an unit and one thing that will need from the batters is runs on board. Scott Edwards with his form and the batting depth till number 10 will surely give them the cushion.
Nothing has went well for Sri Lanka in the first three matches. Injuries, poor bowling, dropped chances, everything has restricted them from opening their accounts in the points table. They have lost their captain to injury and Kusal Mendis has taken over the responsibility. Mendis himself has been in form and he has been supported well by Sadeera Samrawickrama, Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka. But the bowling has not delivered at all, specially the spin department. They have missed the services of Wanindu Hasaranga big time as the all-rounder was a key factor defeating Netherlands in the qualifiers. Dilshan Madushanka has been the only bright spot with the new ball and they will rely on him once again to strike early.
