SL vs NED T20 World Cup 2021: Match 12, Group A Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

Sri Lanka will take on Netherlands in the 12^th match of the T20 World Cup 2021. It’s not a match with any significance, as Sri Lanka are already through to the next round, whereas the Netherlands have kicked themselves out of the competition, since they lost their  2 matches. Sri Lanka did pretty well to recover in the last match against Ireland, thanks to an excellent partnership between Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga. In the end, they sealed the game quite comfortably by 70 runs.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, didn’t enjoy much of their outing in this qualification round. They lost two back-to-back matches against Ireland and Namibia. They are already out of the qualification race, but would still want to end their journey with a win.
