Sri Lanka 263 for 5 (Samarawickrama 91, Nissanka 54, Dutt 3-44) beat Netherlands 262 (Engelbrecht 70, van Beek 59, Madushanka 4-49, Rajitha 4-50) by five wickets
Set a target of 263, the chase was built around key partnerships – the first a counter-attacking 30-ball 34 between Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, to recover from the early loss of Kusal Perera, followed by more substantial stands of 52, 77 and 76 – with Samarawickrama a key cog throughout.
That the Dutch even got as much as they did was down to a record seventh-wicket stand of 130 between Sybrand Elgenbrecht and Logan van Beek, which had dug them out of the considerable hole they found themselves in courtesy Sri Lanka’s seamers.
