The Netherlands carry a lot of momentum coming in after a spirited performance against South Africa. They were electric in the field and will be hoping to maintain the same intensity against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka on the other end is struggling. They are losing players, and are coming in off four consecutive losses. The bowling has been terrible and Sri Lanka are looking for some spark with the ball to carry them through now.

NED vs SL Key Players

Bas De Leede

Bas De Leede has been marked as a player to keep an eye on in this tournament. His skills were on display in the very first game as he single-handedly kept the heat on Pakistan. Taking four wickets and scoring 60-odd, Bas De Leede has shown that he has the ability to contribute equally with both bat and ball.

Dilshan Madushanka

Dilshan Madushanka has been fighting a lone battle so far. In a failing bowling unit, he has done well up front, consistently challenging batters early on. He has been their best source of wickets and Sri Lanka will continue to rely heavily on him.

NED vs SL Match Tips

Netherlands can spring a surprise here but head-to-head and skill keep Sri Lanka slightly ahead.

Match Prediction: Sri Lanka Will Win

Topmost Picks for SL vs NED Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Sri Lanka

• Kusal Mendis – The keeper-batter has scored over 200 runs in the World Cup 2023 and is averaging 67.00 from his three innings. He will go on the attack against the opposition bowling attack in this match.
• Dunith Wellalage – The young left-arm spinner took his second wicket of the 2023 Cricket World Cup when he dismissed Josh Inglis on Tuesday and we expect him to cause Netherlands’ batters problems in Lucknow.

Top Picks – Netherlands

• Bas de Leede – The batting all-rounder began the tournament with 67 runs against Pakistan but he has made only 20 runs since. He is a talented player with one hundred and three half-centuries in ODIs.
• Paul van Meekeren – The right-arm pace bowler was very impressive against South Africa and he picked up the key wicket of Aiden Markram. He bowls with excellent accuracy and speed

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for SL vs NED Dream11 Team:

Kusal Mendis, Scott Edwards, Pathum Nissanka, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede(C), Dhananjaya de Silva, Colin Ackermann, Dunith Wellalage, Chamika Karunaratne, Roelof van der Merwe, Dilshan Madushanka(VC)

Wicketkeeper – Kusal Mendis

SL vs NED Probable Winners

This game will pit two of the bottom three against each other, but despite the fact that we are more than a third of the way through the tournament, there is still time for both the Netherlands and Sri Lanka to put together a winning streak and finish in the top four at the end of the group stage. We anticipate that both teams will look to attack the other from the start of this game, and we may be in for an exciting and close game. The Netherlands have plenty of talent, but Sri Lanka has only recently played on this field, which could give them an advantage. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.

Sri Lanka and Netherlands have both had a quiet a few one-sided encounters in the past. The two sides now face off though with a fair bit of momentum behind them. Netherlands in particular will be more excited coming into this fixture after beating the West Indies in an incredible game which could go down as one of their best.
