Netherlands vs Sri Lanka, Cricket World Cup 2023 Fantasy Cricket Tips And Fantasy XI

The Netherlands and Sri Lanka face off against each other in match No. 19 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Saturday, October 21 at the Ekana Stadium, Lucknow. While the two teams take each other on the playing field, the fantasy cricket managers have a chance to pick their favourite players and form their teams. The performance of the players on the field will translate to points for each fantasy team picked, and the manager with the team with the most points stands a chance to win attractive prizes.

The Netherlands have had a terrific year so far, taking down some big teams en route to the ICC World Cup 2023. A cherry on top for them was their victory against South Africa courtesy of a terrific all-round performance. Skipper Scott Edwards was the star with the bat, who took the Netherlands to 245/8 in 43 overs. South Africa were bowled out for 207 runs, resulting in a 38-run win.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are the only team without a win in the tournament. Since their disastrous defeat against India in the Asia Cup final, they have been underwhelming on the field. Although a great batting performance against Pakistan propelled them to 344 runs batting first, they ended up losing that match by six wickets.

In their last match, they lost to Australia in another disappointing performance. The 1996 champions are in desperate need of a win to keep themselves in contention.
