5 Lowest totals in T20Is this decade

#4 Netherlands vs Sri Lanka (WT20 Championship, 24 March 2014)

Netherlands vs Sri Lanka

This game was played in the WT20 championship in 2014. It was a group game where the Dutch were up against the Sri Lankans who went on to become the eventual champions of the tournament. It was a complete mismatch considering the skill-set that the two teams possessed, but Netherlands were still expected to show some fight.

It, however, turned out to be a totally one-sided affair as Netherlands failed to deal with the variations of Lasith Malinga and the mystery factor of Ajantha Mendis, the two of whom got 5 wickets together. Angelo Mathews chipped in with 3 wickets as well as Netherlands were bowled out for just 39.

Tom Cooper was the only Dutch batsman who managed to get past the score of 10. With a score of 16, he was Netherlands’ highest scorer in the game.

Sri Lanka got to the target in just 5 overs losing Kusal Perera’s wicket. Tilakaratne Dilshan and Mahela Jayawardene stayed unbeaten on 12 and 11 respectively.
