SL vs NED Dream11 Match Preview
Sri Lanka came back strongly after losing their first game against Namibia. They batted well and the bowlers were spot-on as well. There are some concerns with the middle order and they need to fix that going ahead in the tournament. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis are looking good at the top. The likes of Dhananjaya de Silva, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Charitha Asalanka have failed to get going in both games and they need to be consistent with the bat.
Dushmantha Chameera got injured in the last game and is ruled out of the remainder of the tournament. It’s a big blow to the Lankans as he’s their lead pacer and was in good form as well. Wanindu Hasaranga is their trump card and is in good form. Maheesh Theekshana has also bowled well. Pramod Madushan is looking in good rhythm while Chamika Karunaratne is yet to perform with the ball. Sri Lanka must play as a team to win this game to qualify for the Super 12 round.
