3. Sri Lanka 443 for 9 against the Netherlands at Amstelveen, the Netherlands, July 2006
Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardena won the toss against the minnows in the first of their two-match series played in the Netherlands and riding on a veteran Sanath Jayasuriya’s 157 off 104 balls and Tillakaratne Dilshan’s 117 not out off 78 balls, the Asians posted 443 for the loss of 9 wickets – a score which remained at the helm for a decade till England eclipsed it.
In reply, the hosts, who had quite a few debutants in their ranks, had a number of batsmen making a start but couldn’t continue to capitalise on them. Thirty-eight-year-old Tim de Leede was the top-scorer for the Netherlands with 51. The hosts were bowled out for 248 and lost the game by 195 runs. Jayasuriya was adjudged the player of the match.
