Sadeera Samarawickrama adjudged POTM:
“Really happy to finish the game for my team. We needed a win, we haven't done well in the last 3 games, so I really wanted to win a game for my team and I am really happy. When I went to bat the wicket was not easy, the ball was spinning and the pacers were bowling good line and lengths, my plan was to bat deep and play maximum overs, I did my basics right and hence succeeded. I knew it would be hard in the later part because the wicket was turning and gripping, my plan for others was also to bat deep and told them we can't chase this total in 40 overs. Today it was hard (to bat) against the spinners, the wicket was slow and the ball was gripping,” Samarawickrama said.
Winning skipper Kusal Mendis said:
“Very happy today, winning our first match of the WC. Bowlers did well in the first 10 overs. Rajitha and Dilshan bowled really well. 280 would've been enough on this pitch maybe. It was turning at the end. Sadeera batted really well. Pacers had only three overs left so that's why I took him off. Sadeera and Asalanka batted really well. Lots of positive things,” Mendis said.
Losing skipper Scott Edwards said:
“We obviously didn't start well. I thought we got ourselves to what was a pretty competitive total. Our first 30 overs - we just didn't get it right. Leaked too many boundary balls. Didn't field that well either. Our bowlers have been good for us throughout the tournament, but our top order and our bowlers let us down today. Don't know if we would change too much. Just want to execute better. Had a feeling it would turn later. Aryan turns it a bit more generally than other spinners. He bowled exceptionally well. Our batting hasn't quite clicked yet. Got a few too many starts but haven't kicked on. Not too bothered either way (batting first or second). Not too stressed about the toss,” Edwards said.

Sri Lanka won their first match of the ODI World Cup by five wickets. Netherlands gave their all with the bat but bowling and fielding have let them down. Important wicket for Sri Lanka.

The Dutch team, aiming for consecutive wins, is particularly focused on enhancing their top-order performance.
The team's opening batters have struggled to provide a strong start, consequently increasing the middle-order's burden. However, a morale-boosting victory against South Africa has injected confidence into them in anticipation of their match against Sri Lanka. The team's key all-rounder, Bas de Leede, has been contributing with the ball but needs to step up in the batting department to further bolster the team's performance.
Conversely, Sri Lanka faces significant concerns with their bowling department, struggling to deliver a cohesive performance. While their batting has shown promise with consecutive 300-plus scores in their first two matches, the team's bowling unit has faltered, hampered by injuries to key players.

Their hopes hinge on pacer Dilshan Madushanka, who has been the top wicket-taker in the tournament, securing seven wickets. Madushanka demonstrated effective swing bowling against Australia at this venue would aim to replicate that performance against the Netherlands.
The Lucknow pitch has favored the team batting first as the ball has moved around under evening lights. Therefore, if the Netherlands chooses to chase, they should exercise caution against Madushanka's seam bowling, particularly the Dutch top order, which has struggled against left-arm pacers in recent times.
In their previous encounters, Sri Lanka have faced the Netherlands five times, emerging victorious in every meeting. This year, Sri Lanka defeated them twice in the World Cup qualifier, with the final deciding their participation in the current World Cup in India. Sri Lanka maintained a perfect record against the Dutch in these encounters.
