About SL vs NED - Highlights of ODI 2023
In a critical match of the World Cup 2023, Sri Lanka secured their first victory of the tournament by defeating the Netherlands. The win was anchored by composed half-centuries from Sadeera Samarawickrama and Pathum Nissanka. Samarawickrama, in particular, was instrumental, scoring an unbeaten 91 off 107 balls. His performance, which earned him the Player of the Match award, was defined by his ability to adapt to challenging conditions, where the ball was spinning, and pacers were maintaining good line and lengths. His strategy was to bat deep and play maximum overs, which paid off handsomely.
Pathum Nissanka also played a significant role with a 52-ball 54, contributing to a 77-run partnership with Charith Asalanka, who scored 44. Together, they helped Sri Lanka successfully chase the Netherlands’ total of 262 in 48.2 overs. The Dutch team, earlier bowled out for 262 in 49.4 overs, owed much of their total to Sybrand Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek’s lower-order resilience. Engelbrecht top-scored with a 82-ball 70, and together with van Beek (59 off 75 balls), they added 130 runs for the seventh wicket, rescuing their team from a precarious position at 91 for six.
Sri Lanka’s bowling was key to restricting the Netherlands, with Dilshan Madushanka (4/49) and Kasun Rajitha (4/50) leading the charge. This victory marked a significant turnaround for Sri Lanka in the World Cup, after having faced defeats in their initial three matches.
