Sri Lanka vs Netherland T20 World Cup 2021 Today Match Prediction. Sri Lanka won the championship in 2014, but their champion players began to retire one by one the following year, leaving the team with the difficult task of recruiting replacements. The return of Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Perera will undoubtedly make Dasun Shanaka’s task easier. The Sri Lankans also boast top wrist-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who has established himself as a world-class bowler. The Netherlands’ magical grip over Ireland since their epic Sylhet chase in 2014 was poised to continue in Oman until Stuart Poynter rescued the day by lifting Paul van Meekeren over long-on off the last ball of the match in a thrilling one-wicket triumph at Oman Cricket Academy.
Match: Sri Lanka vs Netherland 12th match group-A.
Date: October 22, 2021 (Friday).
Time: 07:30 PM IST.
Venue: Sharjah cricket stadium, Sharjah.
As the game proceeds, the temperature will progressively decrease from the lower 30s Celsius to the lower 20s Celsius. Because there is no chance of rain, the game should go on uninterrupted.
Batting on the Sharjah pitch hasn’t been difficult, especially as the ball has matured. As a result, scoring a large total in the opening six overs is crucial. The impact of the spinners is likely to be considerable.
Dasun Shanaka (c), Kusal Janith Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya De Silva, Pathum Nissanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Charith Asalanka, Avishka Fernando

Maheesh Theekshana
In the third over of the match against Namibia, Maheesh Theekshana got the first blood. He re-entered the fray and scalped another, putting Namibia on the defensive. Maheesh Theekshana was the best of the bunch, finishing with 4-0-25-3. The teenager made a strong impression in his debut T20 World Cup encounter. Overall, the Lankans put forth a strong showing.
Max O’Dowd
In the last match opposite to Ireland Opener, Max O’Dowd added a semblance of respectability to Netherlands’ innings, with 51 off 47 balls, but only one result seemed possible and that was Ireland winning big.
The Netherlands won the toss and chose to bat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi in the third match. In four deliveries, the latter took four wickets. As a result, the Men in Orange were reduced to 106 players. Ireland crossed the line in 15.1 overs after chasing the poor total. Paul Stirling and Gareth Delany both took significant knocks. On Monday, Sri Lanka defeated Namibia by seven wickets in the current T20 World Cup’s Group a Round 1 encounter at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Sri Lanka achieved 100 for three in 13.3 overs while chasing a 97-run goal. Bhanuka Rajapaksa was the best scorer for his team, scoring 42 in 27 balls and remaining undefeated. As per stats from the last match, Sri Lanka will face opponents with a winning attitude, so we think they have more chances to grab the win.
