Sri Lanka clinched an emphatic victory over the Netherlands, trouncing them by a significant 83-run margin in an otherwise inconsequential Group D match at the T20 World Cup. Despite the win, Sri Lanka failed to advance to the Super Eights.

Charith Asalanka spearheaded the Lankan charge with an extraordinary 46 runs off just 21 balls, helping the team to a formidable total of 202. Veteran Angelo Mathews and skipper Wanindu Hasaranga also contributed valuable quick-fire runs.

On the bowling front, Nuwan Thushara and Matheesha Pathirana stifled the Dutch batting line-up, leading to their dismissal for a mere 118. Netherlands captain Scott Edwards acknowledged his team's shortcomings against superior sides after their mixed performances throughout the tournament.
