SL vs NED T20 World Cup 2024 Pitch Report: Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium St Lucia Venue Stats, Record, Average Score

Sri Lanka (SL) will take on Netherlands (NED) in the 38th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 17th (06:00 am IST) at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia.

Sri Lanka’s campaign has been nothing short of disappointing, as they have already been eliminated from the Super 8 race. Their batting unit has struggled to find consistency, while their bowling attack has failed to make early inroads against the opposition.

On the other hand, the Netherlands have had a mixed campaign, securing just one win in their three games. They find themselves in a precarious position, needing a big victory against Sri Lanka and hoping for Bangladesh to lose against Nepal to have a chance of securing entry into the Super 8 stage.
