SL vs NED Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, Match 9

The ninth game of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 will have Sri Lanka (SL) taking on the Netherlands (NED) at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong on Thursday, October 20. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the SL vs NED 2022 Dream11 prediction.

Sri Lanka, after a disappointing start to their campaign, returned to winning ways with a big victory over the UAE. However, they are without Dushmantha Chameera ahead of this must-win game, leaving the spin-twins Hasaranga and Theekshana with a lot to do with the ball.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, have been in impressive form with two wins in two, with the likes of Tim Pringle and Bas de Leede starring with the bat and ball. While the Netherlands have momentum on their side, Sri Lanka's superior star power and experience should hand them the favorites tag. But with both teams eyeing a place in the Super 12 stage, a cracker of a contest beckons in Geelong.
