Sri Lanka and the Netherlands will face each other in the 19th match of World Cup 2023. The match will be played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Interestingly, Sri Lanka are the only team in this tournament so far to not win a single game in three outings. On the other hand, the spirited Netherlands side is coming after beating an in-form South Africa side in their previous outing.
The Netherlands clearly have no reason to change their winning combination. They have able pace bowlers in their line-up who can take advantage of the early moisture, if any, on the pitch as it is a day game in Lucknow. The likes of Paul van Meekeren of Logan van Beek can make the ball talk early on.
The spin bowling attack led by veteran Roelof van der Merwe and Aryan Dutt is just the perfect combination to have for any side. With the bat, skipper Scott Edwards is coming off a match-winning against the Proteas. However, others will have to step up against Sri Lanka if they are to continue their winning run in Lucknow too. Certainly, they aren’t making any changes to their playing XI unless there is a last-minute injury.
Max O’Dowd is one of the best batters in the Netherlands side and has scored 1197 runs in 36 ODIs so far in this career. He is due for a big knock after registering scores of 5, 16 and 18. Looking at Sri Lanka’s bowling attack, the opening batter is likely to take the aggressive to put early pressure on the opposition. So, one can bank on him to come good in this encounter.

This could just be the day for the Netherlands pacers to step up. Paul van Meekeren was brilliant in the previous game picking up two wickets for just 40 runs in his nine overs. Clearly, if they bowl first, the new ball will swing a bit more and Meekeren might threaten to run through Sri Lanka’s batting up front. He will be the one to watch out for in this match.

Injury concerns never seem to end for Sri Lanka but currently, apart from Pathirana, there are no reports of any other player being ill or injured. While they are desperate for a win, Sri Lanka are already playing with their best possible XI and have no option but to back the same set of players.
Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis is their go-to man with the bat surely. He is in sublime form at the moment and scored a majestic century against Pakistan after ripping apart the South African bowling in the 429-run chase. He will be gutted to miss out against Australia but would want to make amends now. His knock can surely help Sri Lanka get their first points on the board.

The Netherlands generally struggle against quality spin bowling and who better than Maheesh Theekshana will exploit this weakness? Yes, Theekshana has picked the most wickets (7) against the Netherlands in ODIs and will be keen on adding more wickets to his tally in this encounter. Theekshana’s bowling will be key for Sri Lanka in this match.
Top Bowler Stats - Recent Matches
Clearly, Netherlands’ ability to spin will more or less decide the outcome of the match. Hence, we predict Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana to win the player of the match award in this game. The spinner has seven scalps against the Dutch side in ODIs and the Men in Orange generally struggle to pick his variations. So we bank on Theekshana to win this award.
With this being the first day match of the tournament at the venue, the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first. There could be something in it early on for the bowlers. Having said that, with sun beating down, the surface might also go slow as the match progresses. It is certainly a tricky call for both teams.
The pitch at the Ekana cricket stadium in Lucknow has been a decent one to bat on so far in the two matches played at the venue. But the pitch has also kept the bowlers interested as Adam Zampa turned the game on its head against Sri Lanka while South Africa’s pacers wrecked havoc against Australia earlier. But it is a day game and we might just see spinners coming into play in the second half of the game more this time around.
As far as weather is concerned, the sun will be out shining on both teams with no chance of rain whatsoever. Winter is setting in but the early start means there is little chance of dew having an impact.
