Sri Lanka are favorites to win
Match 9 sees Sri Lanka and Netherlands go head to head at Kardinia Park on Thursday afternoon in Round One of the 2022 T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka lost their opening match to Namibia but bounced back with a 79 run win over UAE on Tuesday. Netherlands have won both fixtures so far. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 15:00 local time in Geelong.
Sri Lanka were unhappy with their total of 152-8 against UAE, particularly after being 117-2 with over five overs left. However, their bowling was exceptional and they should have enough quality to beat Netherlands.
After beating UAE and Namibia, Netherlands are very close to reaching the Super 12 Stage. This game will prove to be their toughest of the first round and a victory against Sri Lanka could be out of reach.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Netherlands have lost the toss in both matches but have still won when fielding first. Sri Lanka also chose to bowl first when they won the toss and we predict that both teams will want to bat second in this game.
Overall it has been the pace bowlers who have had the most joy on this wicket but spinners have also been very dangerous. Any score over 160 should be defendable.
Cloudy throughout this match with the temperature no lower than 18 degrees. We do not expect any rain interruptions.

Dushmantha Chameera sustained a calf injury and Danushka Gunatilleke a hamstring strain during the win over UAE on Tuesday evening and both players are unlikely to be available for this match. Gunatilleke missed Tuesday’s game and we expect Binura Fernando to come into the side for Chameera.
Sri Lanka have lost only one of their last seven games and were dominant against UAE.

Ahead of their win over Namibia, there was one change for Netherlands from their opening game victory over UAE. Logan van Beek, who scored four not out and went wicketless, was replaced by Timm van der Gugten who conceded 29 runs from his three overs. We expect to see van Beek back in the side for this match.
Netherlands are targeting their third successive victory in this T20 World Cup 2022 in this match.
Max O’Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (c) (wk), Tim Pringle, Roelof van der Merwe, Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren
Sri Lanka have thrashed Netherlands in both of their previous IT20 games. Both matches were in T20 World Cups with Sri Lanka winning by nine wickets in 2014 and eight wickets in 2021.

Although Sri Lanka trail Netherlands by two points in Pool A, they are heavy favourites ahead of this clash with the bookmakers.

Netherlands have talented players with both bat and ball but Sri Lanka have world class performers in their side. It would be a huge upset if Netherlands were to defeat the 2022 Asia Cup Champions.
We recommend Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede and Vikramjit Singh as our batting recommendations for Sri Lanka. 19 year old Singh has hit three ODI half-centuries and made his highest IT20 score on Tuesday.
Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva are our tips with the bat for Netherlands. Mendis hit 54 in a T20 World Cup game against Zimbabwe just over a week ago.
Fred Klaassen, Bas de Leede and Tim Pringle are our bowling picks for Sri Lanka. Pringle has taken a wicket in both games of the tournament so far.
We are backing Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana and Pramod Madoshan with the ball for Netherlands. Madoshan has a bowling average of 11.77 in IT20s.
With Sri Lanka back in form and Netherlands looking for their third straight victory, this game should be of a very high standard. Both teams have good bowling line-ups although Sri Lanka’s spinners are on a different level. We are predicting a victory for Sri Lanka.
