| 0.4 : 0.4: Chamika Karunaratne to Max O'Dowd, OUT! RUN OUT! Dasun Shanaka hits the bull's eye and earns the first breakthrough for his team. Fractionally short in length and outside off, Max O'Dowd stays back to punch it away but mistimes it off the bottom edge towards mid off. They attempt for a run and Dasun Shanaka attacks the ball. He picks it up and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. They appeal, it's referred upstairs and the replays find Max O'Dowd short. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Chamika Karunaratne to Stephan Myburgh, FOUR! Up and over the infield. Full in length and around off, angling away, Stephan Myburgh frees his arms and lofts it over the leaping mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Dushmantha Chameera to Ben Cooper, FOUR! Streaky! A pacy delivery, on a length outside off and angling away, once again Cooper throws his bat at it and drags it off the inner edge. It beats the stumps and the diving keeper before scooting away to the fence at fine leg. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Dushmantha Chameera to Ben Cooper, FOUR! Short and around leg, Cooper tries to pull but it perhaps takes his gloves and speeds away to the fine leg fence. Once again the batter was in no control of his shot. In fact, the replays show that there was no bat involved but the umpire has not spotted it. Given as a boundary to the batsman. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Maheesh Theekshana to Ben Cooper, OUT! Timber! A couple of off breaks followed by a well-disguised carrom ball around leg. It's bowled at 93 kph, Ben Cooper gives the charge and attempts to whip it across the line but misses. The stumps are shattered and once again the Netherlands are off to a poor start in the Powerplay. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Maheesh Theekshana to Stephan Myburgh, OUT! BOWLED! Maheesh Theekshana has two in the over and Sri Lanka are on fire. Yet another carrom ball, this one is bowled in the flatter trajectory and lands on the shorter side around leg at 91 kph, Stephan Myburgh hangs back to pull it across the line but misses. The stumps once again get disturbed and the Netherlands slip further into misery. |
| 3.5: Lahiru Kumara to Colin Ackermann, SIX! This shot will release some pressure. Lahiru Kumara overpitches on this occasion, around off at 90 mph, Colin Ackermann steps back to make room and decides to fight fire with fire. Gives it the full whack of his bat and launches it over the sightscreen for a maximum. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Wanindu Hasaranga to Colin Ackermann, FOUR! Nicely swept! Floated one, full and around off, Colin Ackermann goes down low and sweeps it brilliantly in front of square leg for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Wanindu Hasaranga to Colin Ackermann, OUT! LBW! The decision stays as it is and Netherlands lose their 4th wicket. Flighted delivery, full and around off, Colin Ackermann tries to defend with a straight bat but it beats the inside edge and pings him on the front pad. The appeal goes up and the finger goes up as well almost instantly. That's dead plumb. Still, Colin Ackermann goes for the DRS. The Ball Tracker finds everything in line, shows three reds and Wanindu Hasaranga has his first |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Wanindu Hasaranga to Bas de Leede, OUT! Yet another batsman is trapped in front of the wickets and Sri Lanka are all over Netherlands like a rash. Wanindu Hasaranga flights this one up in the air and lands it full around off, it spins back in to beat the forward defensive prod of Bas de Leede. He is rapped on the pads and once again the finger has gone up for the lbw shout. Five down in no time. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Dushmantha Chameera to Scott Edwards, FOUR! Fuller and on middle, angling in, Scott Edwards flicks it through the big gap at mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Dushmantha Chameera to Roelof van der Merwe, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chameera goes short and hurls it around off at 89 mph, there is some extra bounce as the ball lands and Roelof van der Merwe leans back to use the pace of the bowler and ramp it towards third man. He misses and there is some noise as it goes past the bat. Kusal Perera catches and appeals, Dushmantha Chameera is not interested much but all the other Lankan players are excited. The finger has stayed down and Dasun Shanaka ta |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Wanindu Hasaranga to Pieter Seelaar, OUT! Plumb in front! Netherlands are completely at sea in front of some quality spin bowling. Tossed up ball, landing full and around off, Pieter Seelaar stays on the back foot when he should have been forward and tries to defend. The ball turns in slightly to beat his bat and strikes him on the pads. That's very much plumb and the umpire agrees. Wanindu Hasaranga has three wickets in the match. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Lahiru Kumara to Scott Edwards, OUT! LBW! Wickets falling like dominos for Netherlands here! Good-length ball, on middle and leg. Scott Edwards looks to flick but the ball hurries onto him. He misses and gets hit on the pads. Lahiru Kumara appeals for an LBW and the umpire raises his dreaded finger. Netherlands review this time. Ultra Edge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows all three reds and Netherlands burn their review. Lahiru Kumara bags his first wicket and Sri Lanka are |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Lahiru Kumara to Brandon Glover, OUT! Brandon Glover goes for a 2-ball duck! Back of a length, around off, Brandon Glover looks to push it towards the off side awkwardly but gets a thin outside edge back to the keeper. This is turning out to be a big embarrassment for Netherlands. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Lahiru Kumara to Paul van Meekeren, OUT! Netherlands have been bundled out for 44 here! Another sharp yorker from Lahiru Kumara, around middle and leg, Paul van Meekeren tries to dig it out but misses. He is hit on the boot, they appeal and the umpire raises his finger in no time. That looked to be going down the leg side but Netherlands have no reviews left. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Fred Klaassen to Kusal Perera, FOUR! Kusal Perera is off the mark! A length ball, outside off. Kusal Perera plays it late and past short third man for a boundary. That went off the bottom edge. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Brandon Glover to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! TAKEN! Something to cheer for Netherlands! A length ball, on off. Pathum Nissanka comes down the track and looks to go big but does not hit it with enough power. The ball skies up and Paul van Meekeren takes a simple catch at mid off. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Paul van Meekeren to Kusal Perera, FOUR! Nicely played! Fullish and around off, Kusal Perera gets behind the line and smashes it down the ground for a boundary at long off. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Fred Klaassen to Charith Asalanka, FOUR! In the gap! Length ball, on middle. Charith Asalanka brings his bottom hand into play and flicks it to deep square leg for a boundary. |

| 5.4 : 5.4: Paul van Meekeren to Charith Asalanka, OUT! Charith Asalanka departs! Shorter length, on off. Charith Asalanka looks to pull but completely miscues it. The ball goes high in the air towards mid on and Fred Klaassen there takes a fine catch. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Paul van Meekeren to Kusal Perera, FOUR! Kusal Perera gets a boundary! Short and around off, Kusal Perera stays deep in his crease and pulls this hard towards mid-wicket for a boundary. Just 10 needed now. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Paul van Meekeren to Kusal Perera, FOUR! Just a maximum away now! Short again, wide outside off. Kusal Perera slaps this through extra covers for another boundary. Good outing here for Kusal Perera. This short knock will give him a lot of confidence. |
