Sri Lanka started the game on a high note, guiding the ship of Lanka towards dominance against the Netherlands. The Dutch team, captained by Scott Edwards, who recently triumphed over South Africa at the HPCA stadium, seems to be struggling in the 19th match of the ongoing 2023 World Cup.
Netherlands finds themselves in a precarious situation, having lost six wickets in just 22 overs. Maheesh Theekshana, representing Sri Lanka, took a pivotal step by claiming his first wicket of the day.
In the 21.2nd over, Theekshana delivered a momentous performance. Despite Skipper Scott Edwards appearing to be in excellent form, Theekshana's delivery left the 27-year-old batter dismissed after 16-run effort off 16 balls.

The defining moment of this encounter was Theekshana's delivery. It was a brilliantly executed off-break, flighted delicately just outside the off-stump, luring Edwards into a drive. However, the ball dipped unexpectedly, spun sharply, and claimed an inside edge before crashing into the top of the stumps.
At the time of this writing, the scoreboard reads 103/6 in 25 overs, with Sybrand Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek at the crease, as Sri Lanka's dominance becomes increasingly evident in this crucial match
