got his eye in, runs started to flow. Charith Asalanka played as the perfect foil to him and the two added fifty-plus to take their side to safer shores. Charith Asalanka fell but Mendis continued. He got his fifty up and as the innings went ahead, his strike rate also improved. The others played around him but it is his innings which could prove to be the difference.
TOSS: Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanka won the toss and elected to bat first vs the Netherlands.
After suffering a shocking defeat against Namibia in their opening game, Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka bounced back with a convincing victory against UAE. However, Dasun Sanaka and his men cannot falter when they take on the Netherlands in their final group match on Thursday. They have to bag a win at any cost to make it to the Super12 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup.

The Dasun Sanaka-led side were expected to make it to the next stage without any fuss. But the unexpected loss derailed their campaign off the track. However, the odds are still in their favour as a win against the Netherlands will lead the Lankan Lions to the Super 12 stage, owing to their supreme net run rate. If they fail to do so, their qualification will depend on the match between UAE and Namibia. Sri Lanka will not advance if the remaining two Group A games go unfinished.
Though the Netherlands made it two wins out of two with their victory over Namibia and are currently at the top of Group B, they will have to secure a win against the Asian giants if they have to seal their berth for the next stage. A defeat will make the Dutch bank again on the UAE, who then have to beat Namibia to help the Netherlands qualify.
