Match No. 19 will see a clash between Sri Lanka and Netherlands at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. It will take place on October 21 (Saturday). Both teams are in desperate need of a win. Netherlands lost their first two matches. But they bounced back hard in their last game.
Netherlands beat South Africa and registered a historic win. However, the story of Sri Lanka is pretty poor. They have lost all the games in this tournament so far and are searching for a win badly. So it will be a do-or-die game for both teams because neither of them can afford another defeat.
