How Sri Lanka Beat the Netherlands in the World Cup Final Qualifier
Sri Lanka won on Netherlands by 128 runs
Sri Lanka won the duel between the two World Cup Final Qualifier on Sunday, whipping Netherlands by 128 runs in the remainder of the opposition in Harare.
Score Summary:
The Dutch did well to skittle the Sri Lankans out for only 233 inside 48 overs after Dutch supervisor Scott Edwards won the throw and put them in to bat.
In any case, the Dutch were never in the pursuit right after being reduced to 39 for three – Dilshan Madushanka taking three of the wickets – as they fell to 105 all out in a little more than 23 overs.
It had all looked significantly rosier for the Dutch when they were in the field.
Edwards would have been particularly content with his side’s presentation with the ball as Bas de Leede, the star in the triumph over Scotland, which secured its Reality Cup spot, missed the game having gotten back to his English district club Durham.
Vikramjit Singh excused both Sri Lankan openers, including the valued one of the in-structure Pathum Nissanka, whose expectations of a third progressive ton were run as he went for 23, got by Aryan Dutt.
A fine 57 by Sahan Arahchige upheld by fair commitments from wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis (43) and Charith Asalanka (36) gave the foundation of their aggregate.
Madushanka’s overwhelming spell had the Dutch faltering and opener Max O’Dowd needed to watch from the opposite end as his accomplices went back and forth at customary spans.
O’Dowd ultimately went for a courageous 33 off 63 balls clean bowled by Maheesh Theekshana – who tidied up the tail and got done with four for 31.
