Sri Lanka beat Netherlands by 9 wickets
Angelo Mathews was named the Man of the Match for his spell. That's all we have from today. Tomorrow will be a single match between Bangladesh and West Indies. Do join us for that. Until then, farewell!
Netherlands were a no-match today, completely in contrast to their performance against Ireland which raised the eyebrows of a million people worldwide. Struggles against the likes of Mendis and Malinga were expected but they were throwing away the wickets to a little more than a dibbly dobbler, Angelo Mathews. Only Tom Cooper managed a double number score. In the end, it was a real embarrassment but they would be hoping to put on a good show in the next game. Remember, they had beaten England in the 2009 World T20 and they would be much easier off facing their European counter-parts than the Asian sides.
Nothing much to speak about in this innings. Just 40 runs were required to win and the Sri Lankan batsmen had no qualms in wrapping it up quickly apart from losing Kusal Perera in the process.

Timm van der Gugten To Mahela Jayawardene
SRI LANKA WIN BY 9 WICKETS! Length outside off, Jayawardene punches it away through covers and takes one. It's a new record for the biggest win in terms of balls left, 90. No doubt that this was indeed the most one-sided contest in the history of T20Is.

Timm van der Gugten To Kusal Perera
Kusal's hurt! I repeat, Kusal's hurt again! It's a tough CATCH PUT DOWN as well. A short of a length delivery, rears up, Kusal has not expected this kind of bounce and the ball lobs off the glove. Myburgh puts in a terrific dive from point but it falls short of him.
Team Netherlands are one spirited team! They're having a team huddle and whether it is for the strategies for this match or the next match, not sure. Here comes Kusal Perera and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
