Netherlands will be looking to avoid a third defeat in the T20 World Cup when they take on Sri Lanka at Sharjah. The Dutch are heading home after a poor showing against Ireland and Namibia while 2014 champions Sri Lanka have ensured qualification to the next round.  The game is more of a dead rubber but we all know how momentum plays a key role in tournaments like these and Sri Lanka will love to continue their winning run as they gear up to face more tougher opposition. With the pitch at Sharjah assisting slow bowlers, expect this game to be a low-scoring encounter.  ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Points Table, Round 1: Scotland Advance To Super 12 After Win Over Hosts Oman.

Sri Lanka are expected to rest a number of key players for the game against the Netherlands. Maheesh Theek Shana took three wickets against Ireland in the previous match and his confidence is sky-high at the moment. Kusal Perera’s form is a worry for the team at the moment but given the talent the top-order batsman possesses, he just needs one good score to come alive. Wanindu Hasaranga’s 47 ball 71 was the highlight of Sri Lanka’s batting in the last game and showcased the depth of their lower order.

Netherland’s Max O’Dowd has two fifties to his name so far in the campaign but apart from him there has hardly been any contribution. Ryan ten Doeschate is yet to score a single run at the World Cup which is a cause of worry and one of the reasons the team has failed to score big runs. Bowling has been below par too for the Dutch with none of the players contributing much.
