SL vs NED World Cup Qualifiers Final
The Dutch kept taking wickets at regular intervals and that always kept them in the. Once they got rid of the top-order they made quick work of the lower and the middle order. Logan van Beek was excellent yet again but it was a combined effort by the Dutch side. The total is now a moderate one and they will back themselves to chase this down. Sri Lanka on the other hand, have been exceptional with the ball and they will hope they can yet again do the job. Who will win the finale?
Excellent from the Ducth and they will be the happier of the two sides walking into the break! This innings was a tale of two halves. First, it was Lanka who dominated the first 25. They looked all set to get to a score of close to 300 as their top 4 got off to starts. Once Sahan Arachchige fell, it was a procession. They kept losing wickets and have fallen well short of where they looked like reaching at one stage.
