The Netherlands are riding high on their massive win against South Africa. The Proteas were bundled out for 207 while chasing 245. Sri Lanka, on the contrary, have had a disappointing tournament so far. They have lost all 3 matches they have played in the ICC World Cup 2023.
Their captain Dasun Shanaka has also been ruled out of the tournament due to a thigh injury. The match on October 21 will be a do-or-die one for the Lions.

Netherlands vs Sri Lanka pitch report
The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has long been renowned as a haven for spinners and slower bowlers, resulting in low-scoring games. However, the new World Cup wickets, made from black soil, showed some life, at least in the first innings of the Australia vs South Africa match. Six of the 10 Australian wickets were taken by South African fast bowlers. In the next match, Adam Zampa took 4 wickets for Australia against Sri Lanka.

As per CricTracker, no matter which team bats first, Sri Lanka will win the match. As per MyKhel, while the Lions are “slightly ahead”, it won’t be a surprise if the Dutch pull off another win. We believe Sri Lanka are low on morale due to the back-to-back setbacks and Shanaka having been ruled out. The Netherlands, high on confidence after winning against South Africa, will win this one as well.
