Early on, Paul van Meekeren shakes up Sri Lanka when he dismisses Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva in quick succession. OUT! TIMBER! Just fantastic, that is brilliant. Paul van Meekeren would have loved that wicket, I’m pretty sure. By bowling the final delivery short and quickly, you put the batter on the back foot.

OUT! LBW! For Netherlands, this is now much better! Paul van Meekeren is really hot right now. He’s got two out of two. This can be viewed as a lucky wicket.

Even though the Netherlands is presently leading Group B after defeating Namibia to make it two wins in a row, they will need to defeat the Asian superpowers to guarantee their spot in the next round. If they lose, the Dutch will have to rely once more on the UAE, who will then need to defeat Namibia for the Netherlands to advance.

Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka responded to their devastating loss to Namibia in their opener match with a comfortable victory over UAE. When they play the Netherlands in their final group game on Thursday, Dasun Sanaka and his team must falter. To advance to the Super12 round of the ICC T20 World Cup, they must win at all costs.
