There is something in the pitch for all. Most bowlers have been able to retain a reasonable amount of control but have been punished by any batter in good form.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Sri Lanka were unchanged against Ireland and we expect them to keep the same team as they look to build on the momentum they have generated. With no injury worries, there could be an argument to give fringe players a run, however topping the group is still a priority for the team.
SL Key Players
- Kusal Perera - The keeper-batsman made a golden duck against Ireland. However, he is a very talented batter and we expect to see him fill his boots in this game.
- Pathum Nissanka - The opener was at the non-striker's end as Sri Lanka fell to 8-3 against Ireland. However, his controlled aggression got his side back on track.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - The bowling all-rounder may well turn out to be one of the stars of this World Cup. On Wednesday he showed his class with both bat and ball.
In spite of coming into this tournament with plenty of doubters, Sri Lanka are the only team in the group with a 100% record so far.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Kusal Perera (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Dinesh Chandimal, Avishka Fernando, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana, Lahiru Kumara

NED Team News
Brandon Glover and Ben Cooper were replaced by Stephan Myburgh and Timm van der Gugten in the Netherlands XI for the game against Namibia. Although Van der Gugten was expensive, he was not the only Dutch bowler to go for many runs. We predict the same XI as some veteran players bid farewell to the international scene.
NED Key Players
- Max O’Dowd- the Netherlands’ opener has been brilliant in the tournament so far with a half-century in both games.
- Colin Ackermann- the top order batter hit 35 and shared an 82 run partnership with O’Dowd on Wednesday. He only hit 2 boundaries so must be more attacking in this game.
- Fredrick Klaassen - The left-arm pace bowler has bowled consistently throughout the tournament but has lacked any real back-up from the other end.
With their exit from the T20 World Cup 2021 confirmed, it is no surprise to see that the Netherlands have not won any of their last four games.
Netherlands Predicted Playing 11
Max O’Dowd, Stephan Myburgh, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Ryan ten Doeschate, Scott Edwards (wk), Roelof van der Merwe, Pieter Seelaar (c), Logan van Beek, Timm van der Gugten, Fredrick Klaassen

🏆 Sri Lanka vs Netherlands Prediction
There is always the slight chance that with qualification confirmed, Sri Lanka will take their foot off the pedal. But with an intense coach like Mickey Arthur this is very unlikely. We are predicting another big win for Sri Lanka and the Netherlands to leave the tournament without a victory.
