Preview:
After facing a defeat in their opening game of the group stage, Sri Lanka made a comeback as they beat the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their second game. After posting a decent total of 152/8, Sri Lanka bowlers did a terrific job to bundle UAE to a mere 97. Now, they will have the challenge of beating the Netherlands who have won both their games so far. While the Netherlands beat UAE in their first match, they took out Namibia in their second game. With these wins, they stand on the verge of qualification for the Super 12s.

Analysis
There have been a few consistent performers for the Netherlands in their two matches so far. Bas de Leede has been one of those consistent players for the Netherlands. The all-rounder won the Player of the Match award in both matches. He has taken five wickets so far in the tournament. The other consistent performer for Dutch has been Vikramjit Singh. The opening batter was the team’s highest scorer in the match against Namibia. Max O'Dowd has also ensured handy contributions, so he can also be included in the fantasy team.
From Sri Lanka, Pathum Nissanka showed some class against the UAE as the batter single-handedly propelled the team to a decent total. Dhananjaya de Silva was also among the runs for Sri Lanka. In bowling, Dushmantha Chameera is a must-pick considering his ability to pick wickets upfront. Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dasun Shanaka can also be included.
