12th MatchNetherlands v Sri Lanka – 3pm - First Round Group A (N), Sharjah
The final game of the qualifying section and Netherlands came into this game without a win and unable to progress, whilst Sri Lanka had won both and secured their qualification. After being put in by SL, Netherlands made the worst possible start as competition leading run scorer Max O’Dowd was run out in the 1st over. At the end of the powerplay, they had slumped to 37/6 and then to 44 all out in 10 overs. Spin twins mesmerised the Dutch batters with Hasaranga taking 3/9 off 3 and Maheesh Theekshana 2/3 off his solo over, he left the field with an injury. Hopefully he’s fit to return in the Super 12. Lahiru Kumara polished off the innings taking 3/7 off 3 overs. One minor positive for Netherlands, this was only the 2nd lowest T20WC score! Although, not great as Netherlands hold the lowest score too, a 39 in 2014 against – yep – Sri Lanka. Unsurprisingly, SL then made short work of the total although Northants paceman Brandon Glover took Nissanka for 0. Kusal Perera hit an unbeaten 33 to see them home in just 7.1 overs to clinch the 8-wkt win and condemn Netherlands to their 3rd defeat.

SL start the main stage back in Shahjah against fellow qualifiers Bangladesh, could be an interesting one for the spin strong SL, although a certain Shakib Al Hasan may be interested too!
