NED vs SL Head-to-head stats and records you need to know before Netherlands vs Sri Lanka 2023 World Cup match

The Netherlands will take on Sri Lanka in match number 19 of the 2023 ODI World Cup at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday, October 21. This will be the day match of the double-header and will begin at 10:30 am IST.

The Dutch side will go into the game high on confidence having stunned South Africa in their previous match in Dharamsala. It would be unfair on the Netherlands to term the result as an upset since they had beaten the Proteas in the 2022 T20 World Cup as well.

Batting first, the Netherlands posted 245/8 in 43 overs in the rain-reduced encounter as skipper Scott Edwards (78*) led the way. The bowlers then combined to clinch a clinical win.

Sri Lanka will be hoping to open their account against the Netherlands. They are the only team who are yet to win a match in the 2023 World Cup. In their last game, they went down to Australia by five wickets.

Batting first, the Lankans got off to a great start as their openers added 125. However, they squandered the advantage and were bowled out for 209.
