World Cup fate is on the line for the Netherlands and Sri Lanka when they meet at Kardinia Park in the penultimate game in Group A, with both facing the prospect of an early exit from the tournament.
Coming into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 it had been Sri Lanka who had been making much of the noise on the international stage, winning the Asia Cup and beating some high-calibre opponents in the process. But Dasun Shanaka and his side are now one loss away from World Cup elimination and know they must almost certainly beat Group A leaders the Netherlands on Thursday to make it to the Super 12.
They will now look to win the match against the Netherlands led by Scott Edwards.
