SL vs NED Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report ODI WC Qualifier 2023 Match 22 | SL vs NED Dream11 Prediction Today | Bulawayo Pitch Report

For the first time since 2006, Sri Lanka and Netherlands will do battle in an ODI. And, so much is at stake.

Sri Lanka, courtesy of solid wins against Scotland and Oman, enter the super six stage in pole position. However, their batting left a bit to be desired a few days ago, so they will want to be at their best here with their spinners in excellent form. Indeed, a solid win here will put ODI World Cup qualification on their doorstep.

For the Dutch, their efforts in reaching this stage is commendable, with the highlight undoubtedly that incredible victory in the super over against West Indies. They looked gone in pursuit of a mammoth 375, but the efforts of Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards and Logan van Beek showed they are never down and out.

Victory for Netherlands will blow the super six stage wide open. It will be a tough ask given the number of first-team players they are without, but the last nine months have shown they can always spring a surprise.

Queens Sports Club Bulawayo Pitch Report and Weather

Zimbabwe and Oman enjoyed batting on this ground on Thursday, but the surface was on the slower side. There has been quite a bit of cricket played on the square, so the pitches are beginning to tire, bringing the spinners into the game.

In fact, in the Sri Lanka-Scotland game, spinners took 12 of the 18 wickets taken by bowlers.

A mostly sunny day is forecast once again with a top of about 24 degrees.
