We have three injuries. We have to do well in both batting and bowling, hope we do well in today's game. We have positive things in the previous matches, we have batted really well. And the bowling unit has to bowl in partnerships. I am enjoying my own game, enjoying the captaincy.

Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis at the toss

10:05 (IST) Oct 21

We are going to have a bat first. The pitch looks pretty good, hopefully put a score on and look to defend it. We played reasonably well the other night, still have some improvements to make. Every team that is here would be saying the same thing, you have to probably win 5 games and that's what we are here to do. We have got some quality spinners and quicks as well, we just come into the game, make some plans and go from there. No changes.

Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards at the toss

We are playing with a really young group of bowlers, so they are bound to make mistakes. The way forward is how we can learn from the mistakes. It's a nine-game tournament we are playing. So, I think the players have room to learn and improve their capabilities, because we've got a very capable group, no doubt.

I think If we assess those two games that we played against Sri Lanka [in World Cup qualifiers], it's our batting department that probably didn't live up to the expectation that we needed to. I think in the final we played, we kept them down to a good score, we could have chased that, but obviously their spin through the middle was something that troubled us... but that's something that we've looked into and we've addressed and we've worked extremely hard on playing spin and being able to rotate strike through the middle a little bit better.

Netherlands' Teja Nidamanuru

Netherlands vs Sri Lanka Stat attack - Sri Lanka had beaten Netherlands twice in the World Cup qualifier earlier this year including the final after both teams secured their spots for the ongoing World Cup in India.

The Lucknow wicket has so far seen the team batting first having the advantage, as the ball has been moving under the lights.

NED vs SL - Madushanka key
Lanka would rely on pacer Dilshan Madushanka, who has been their leading wicket-taker in the event so far with seven scalps. He got the ball to swing against Australia at the same venue and would be looking to do the same against the struggling Dutch top-order.
08:44 (IST) Oct 21
SL vs NED - Bowlers letting Lanka down
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have plenty to worry about on the bowling front. They have not been able to a produce a collective performance thus far. The Lions have been decent with their batting, having posted 300-plus total in their opening two contests. However, it is Sri Lanka's bowling that have let them down in the absence of a few injured players.
08:44 (IST) Oct 21
NED vs SL Live - Dutch top-order in focus
The top three Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann have not been able to get the team off to a good start, putting additional pressure on the middle-order. A morale-boosting win over South Africa will provide an extra dose of confidence to the trio ahead of the Sri Lanka clash. Star all-rounder Bas de Leede is doing his bit with the ball but can step on the batting front. The performance against the Proteas showed that the Netherlands mean business, having set an ambitious target of reaching the semifinals in their first World Cup appearance in 12 years.
