The forthcoming match between Sri Lanka and Netherlands in the T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday is set for an interesting turn of events. While Sri Lanka have been knocked out of contention for the Super 8, Netherlands have a flicker of hope, but it hinges on the outcome of another Group D match.
Sri Lanka will look to salvage some pride after a forgettable tournament. They haven't been able to find their winning ways and will aim to end their campaign on a high. The Dutch, meanwhile, have shown flashes of brilliance.
They've won two out of their three matches, but their qualification for the Super 8 depends on Bangladesh's performance against Nepal. A Bangladesh loss will open the door for Netherlands to squeeze into the next round, making this match even more crucial for them.
