Match Preview
The Netherlands will take on Sri Lanka in their next fixture of the ODI World Cup 2023 on October 21, Sunday. The match is slated to be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The Netherlands, under Scott Edwards, finally opened their account in the season as they took down South Africa in their last fixture.
Sri Lanka, on the flip side, haven't got any luck in the season, and they continue to sit at the bottom of the standings with zero victories in the account. While Edwards and Co. wouldn't want to let go of their momentum in the marquee ICC event, Sri Lanka will wish to finally come on top.
Toss Prediction
In their respective three matches that both the teams have played so far in the ICC event, the Sri Lanka skipper won all the toss wars. It seems that the previous champions have luck on their side, at least in the toss battles. The Netherlands skipper, on the other hand, won two out of three tosses. Considering this, we think Scott Edwards will win the toss in the upcoming match.
Win Possibility
Sri Lanka and the Netherlands have played five ODI matches as of now. Out of those five matches, the formers won all the matches and the Netherlands didn't have any luck with them. Though the Asia Cup 2023 finalists haven't won any of their matches in the ongoing tournament, it goes without saying that they are a far stronger team than their next rivals. Hence, we think Sri Lanka are clear favourites to win the upcoming encounter.
Predicted powerplay score and average first-inning score
The Ekana Cricket Stadium, in the City of Nawabs, Lucknow is to host a total of five matches in the ongoing season of the ODI World Cup. If we have a look at the past matches played at the stadium, a total of five 50-over matches have been played at the venue so far, with an average first-inning score of 228. Considering this, we think the first-inning score in the upcoming match is expected to be 265-285, while the powerplay score is expected to hover between 40-45.
