On June 17, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands will play their final group-stage game as they lock horns at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium in Saint Lucia. 

The Island Nation have crashed out of the tournament following a poor run, but the Netherlands still have a sleek chance to qualify for the Super 8, and thus it is a crucial match for them. 

The Sri Lanka- Netherlands match will be the second game after the recently concluded Australia- Scotland game to be played at this venue for T20 World Cup 2024. Let's look at the ground stats of Daren Sammy Cricket Ground which can host 15000 spectators.
