Preview
Sri Lanka and the Netherlands will play the 9th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Thursday (October 20) at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong. This will be the last game for both the teams in Group A. Netherlands have won their first two matches and are placed in the first position in the points table. However, they have still not qualified for the next stage. If they lose this game and Namibia beat the United Arab Emirates in their next game, the Netherlands might face an early exit because they have the lowest net run rate among all three teams. Hence, this will be an important game for both teams. They defeated Namibia in the last game, however, it was not an easy win despite they were chasing a target of 122 runs. It took them 19.3 overs to chase this total.
The equation is simple for Sri Lanka, who lost their opening game against Namibia. They need to win this game in order to make it to the next stage of the tournament. It will not be an easy task for the Asian champions, who recently lost Dushmantha Chameera due to a calf injury. They did manage to overpower the United Arab Emirates in their last game. Sri Lanka won that game by 79 runs after posting a total of 152 runs on the board.
