Experienced Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga weaved his magic for the umpteenth time in the ICC World Cup qualifiers, as he castled promising Dutch batter Teja Nidamanuru by a magnificent googly in the 16th over. 

Chasing a modest target of 214, the Netherlands got off to a disastrous start, losing openers Vikramjit Singh and Max O'Dowd for ducks. However, veteran batter Wesley Barresi and all-rounder Bas de Leede steadied the ship for the Dutch, adding a vital stand of 77 runs for the third wicket. 


But the game swung into the Lankans' favour with the dismissal of Barresi, who was run out against the play after notching up a glorious half century. To make matters worse for the Netherlands, Hasaranga jolted them with a massive blow, deceiving the in-form Nidamanuru with a well-disguised googly, which turned sharply to shatter the timber. 

Regarding the game, the Dutch were well on course of a astounding victory, placed at 88 for two at one stage. However, they lost their way after Barresi's dismissal, losing four more wickets in 45 runs. As of writing, they are reeling at 133 for seven, with skipper Scott Edwards batting on 28* at one end.
