Netherlands vs Sri Lanka, T20 World Cup: Highlights

Sri Lanka had already qualified for the Super 12s after winning their first-two games and will join Australia, England, South Africa, West Indies and Bangladesh in Group 1 of the Super 12s.

“The bowlers were executing really well. A real good performance from all of us. Very good bowling side, I didn’t bowl in the qualifier at all, and Charith Asalanka can also bowl. We read the conditions really well, so we know the advantages and disadvantages going forward (in the Super 12s),” Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka said after the match.

Sri Lanka’s first match in the main draw of the tournament will be against Bangladesh on October 24.

“Pretty simple, Sri Lanka just outplayed us. Outplayed the whole group. Fair credit to them, they were two steps ahead. We’ve got a South Africa series in November and Afghanistan in January (for ODIs).

“We’ve to go back to the drawing board a bit. The pacers came out with a bit of good heat, good aggression. Leading run-scorer run out in the first over doesn’t help, pretty much set the tone for the innings,” the Netherlands skipper Pieter Seelar said.
