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.

Dream11 Prediction: Both teams have struggled in this tournament so far. But Sri Lanka have some other issues as well, which are related to the injuries. They will miss some of their key players in the game, which might give an edge to Netherlands. So we back the Dutch team to win the game by a small margin.
