Sri Lanka vs Netherlands Team Analysis
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka are yet to win a match in this T20 World Cup so far. They lost to South Africa and Bangladesh, THey had their match against Nepal abandoned due to rain and now they will play their last league game against the Netherlands.
The side has been thoroughly outplayed in the matches that they have played so far. Notably, the Dutch defeated the Lankans in the warm-up game before the tournament started. Sri Lanka as of now looks a depleted side and is already eliminated from the tournament.
Netherlands
The Netherlands started with a win against Nepal. They then lost to South Africa and Bangladesh. They are in a tricky position as they need to win big.
Even a win will take them to four points. They can only qualify if Bangladesh loses to Nepal and their NRR gets below the Dutch. Thus a lot needs to go right for the Dutch to qualify for the Super 8s.

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands Key Factors
Pitch Conditions
The venue has hosted 35 T20I matches with 15 matches won by the team batting first and 20 by the team chasing. This is a batting-friendly venue with 199 being the highest total posted. 197 is the score that was chased down by Australia against Pakistan in the 2010 T20 World Cup semi-final.
Form and Fitness
Form has been a concern for both teams. Sri Lanka scored just 77 against South Africa and just 124 against Bangladesh. Holland too has scored fewer runs just 106 against Nepal, 103 against South Africa, and 134 against Bangladesh. Both teams need to bat better. Fitness-wise there are no concerns from both teams.
Tactical Acumen
Wanindu Hasaranga and Scott Edwards are the respective captains of both teams. Netherlands having already beaten Sri Lanka in the warm-up game will know exactly how to approach this game. Sri Lanka's down on confidence which in turn might work in favour of Netherlands.
