The Netherlands and Sri Lanka will go face to face against each other in the second match of the Super Sixes at the ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023. The Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo will play host to this exciting game on Friday, June 30.
The Netherlands are on a roll at the moment as they have secured a place in the super sixes of the tournament after winning three consecutive games. Following a memorable win over West Indies, the Netherlands finished the group's stages second in the Group A points table with six points.
Bowling first, the bowlers failed to keep a check on the scoring rate as the Netherlands conceded a mammoth total of 374/6 in 50 overs. In reply, Teja Nedamanuru (111) and Scott Edwards (67) led the fightback for the Dutch team, followed by a late cameo from Logan van Beek (28 off 14 balls), who ensured that the game finished in a tie on the last ball of the game.
Logan van Been continued to impress in the super over as he smashed 30 runs with the bat and picked up two wickets with the ball as the Netherlands secured a memorable win over West Indies.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, looks all set to book their place at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 following their dominant run in the group stages. With four consecutive wins, Sri Lanka finished the group stages on top of the Group B points table with eight points.
Batting first, Pathum Nissanka (75) and Charith Asalanka (63) hit useful fifties as Sri Lanka got bowled out for just 245 runs in 49.3 overs. Defending a modest total, Maheesh Theekshana picked up three crucial wickets as they restricted Scotland to a mere 163 runs and entered the super sixes with a comfortable 82-run victory.
