Sri Lanka after fumbling in the opening match has composed itself and won two matches on the trot. They won the crucial match against the Netherlands today and this means they are through to the Super 12s in style. However, their position in the table is not confirmed yet. If Namibia wins their match, then Sri Lanka will be placed second in the table and will enter the Super 12s in Group 1. Otherwise, they will be the table toppers and will enter Group 2.
Sri Lanka’s batting first has started very slow. Nissanka couldn’t get going. Wickets fell in one day. However, Kusal Mendis kept going and made SL reach 162. On a pitch where it is helping the bowlers, the Netherlands struggled. Like Kusal, Max ODowd held one end up and scored a fluent 71.
Namibia will face UAE today which will be crucial for them and Netherlands as well.
