The Netherlands will be facing Sri Lanka in match 38 of the ICC T20 World Cup on June 16 in a Group D clash at the Darren Sammy Stadium National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia.

In the pursuit of Super Eights, the Dutch will be going into their final match of the group stage with a mission of defeating the Lankans while hoping for Bangladesh to fumble against Nepal.

On the other hand, the champions of the 2014 edition who have not won any of their matches in this World Cup will be playing for some pride and end the tournament on a high note.

With the situation of fighting for survival in the tournament against playing for pride, a great battle is right on the cards and the pitch will play a huge role in determining the outcome of the match. Let us have a look at what the Gros Islet wicket has to offer for the match.

Daren Sammy Stadium Gros Islet St Lucia Pitch Report

The Gros Islets' surface traditionally provides some help to the pacers upfront with the new ball whilst also providing a tad more than usual bounce.

However, in the last game played here between Scotland and Australia on June 15, the wicket acted like a belter while still having a assistance for the spinners with continuous flow of wind from an end.

The St Lucian track has so far acted as one of the better wickets to bat on and the team batting first would like to have a 180+ total on the board to have an upper hand over the chasing side.
