NED vs SL ODI Head To Head Stats and Record: Upbeat Netherlands take on lowly Sri Lanka in match 19 of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday (October 21).
Netherlands led by Scott Edwards, who lost their first two outings at the ODI World Cup 2023, stunned one of the favourites South Africa in their most recent outing, while Kusal Mendis’ Sri Lanka are win-less in three, having lost to Australia in their most recent match.

The Dutch had lost to Pakistan and New Zealand in Hyderabad before they upset South Africa at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Sri Lanka has so far suffered defeats to South Africa, Pakistan and Australia.
Sri Lanka, however, will take confidence from their record against Netherlands in the limited number of matches, including the two meetings in the World Cup qualifier earlier this year. This will be their first meeting at the Ekana Stadium, where Sri Lanka lost to Australia.
Now, ahead of the NED vs SL World Cup 2023 match we take a look at their ODI head to head record, stats as well as both South Africa and Netherlands’ record in the ODI World Cup over the years.
