Netherlands face Sri Lanka on Friday in its evening fixture at the Sharjah Cricket Ground to cap off what has largely been a closely contested group stage, with only one unconfirmed spot in the Super 12 phase left. The team that fills that spot, however, will be known before Netherlands and Sri Lanka do battle in the last match of the stage.
With comfortably the group’s best net run-rate and a two-point lead over any other side, Sri Lanka are primed to top their group barring anything drastic.
