Sri Lanka and Netherlands are set to lock horns at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Sunday, July 9. The final of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier will start at 12:30 pm IST/ 7:00 am GMT/ 9:00 am local time.
Under the exceptional leadership of Scott Edwards, the Dutch team has displayed remarkable performance thus far. With their qualification secured for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, to be held on Indian soil later this year, the Netherlands enters the competition with a high level of confidence.
Winning the title in the World Cup Qualifiers would serve as an additional triumph for them. Their victory over Richie Berrington’s Scotland by four wickets will undoubtedly boost their morale as they approach the upcoming game.
On the other hand, led by Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka remains unbeaten in the tournament, having emerged victorious in all seven of their matches so far. They were the first team to secure their spot in the World Cup in India. Sri Lanka’s recent triumph over the West Indies by eight wickets adds to their momentum as they prepare for the grand finale.
Considering their unbeaten streak in the tournament, Sri Lanka will enter the match as the favourites. However, one must not disregard the potential of the Netherlands. In their previous meeting, the Netherlands gave Sri Lanka a tough challenge, coming close to victory before ultimately losing by a margin of 21 runs.
