THE LOWDOWN
NETHERLANDS
Netherlands stunned everyone with one of the most remarkable victories in their cricketing history this past Monday. Their final Group A fixture saw them almost chase down 374/6 against a full ICC Test member nation in West Indies. The match ultimately ended in a tie with a Super Over needed to decide a winner. Step forward Logan van Beek, who bludgeoned an incredible 30 off the Netherlands’ Super Over, leaving West Indies too much to do in response. The shock victory sees Netherlands enter the Super Six stage still very much in the hunt for one of those two ICC Cricket World Cup qualification places, although defeat here at the hands of Sri Lanka would more than likely end those hopes.
SRI LANKA
Sri Lanka are one of the nations to have set the standard over the course of this ICC Cricket World Cup qualifier are come into their first Super Six fixture on the back of a 100% record across the group stage, winning four from four. Two of Sri Lanka’s three matches that saw them bat first ended up with them racking up a score of over 300, whilst they also chased down 99 against Oman without losing a wicket. Most pleasing from a Sri Lankan perspective is likely to be the fact that they have bowled out every single opposition they have faced so far, whether it be in the first or second innings, which bodes well going into the Super Six.
THE PREDICTION
Whilst Netherlands’ performance and victory over West Indies was spectacular, one must wonder what such an effort took out of their players physically. It’s important to remember that they conceded 374 runs and should Sri Lanka be afforded as much joy against them with the bat, Netherlands will surely not be able to match it when taking into account Sri Lanka’s formidably potent bowling unit. By the end of this one, Sri Lanka’s class is likely to have told and backing them to over Netherlands has to be favoured.
TIP: SRI LANKA TO WIN
