Sri Lanka and Netherlands are set to lock horns at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Sunday, July 9. The final of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier will start at 12:30 pm IST/ 7:00 am GMT/ 9:00 am local time.

Under the exceptional leadership of Scott Edwards, the Dutch team has displayed remarkable performance thus far. With their qualification secured for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, to be held on Indian soil later this year, the Netherlands enters the competition with a high level of confidence.

Winning the title in the World Cup Qualifiers would serve as an additional triumph for them. Their victory over Richie Berrington’s Scotland by four wickets will undoubtedly boost their morale as they approach the upcoming game.

On the other hand, led by Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka remains unbeaten in the tournament, having emerged victorious in all seven of their matches so far. They were the first team to secure their spot in the World Cup in India. Sri Lanka’s recent triumph over the West Indies by eight wickets adds to their momentum as they prepare for the grand finale.

Considering their unbeaten streak in the tournament, Sri Lanka will enter the match as the favourites. However, one must not disregard the potential of the Netherlands. In their previous meeting, the Netherlands gave Sri Lanka a tough challenge, coming close to victory before ultimately losing by a margin of 21 runs.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), on Friday, announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament, scheduled to begin in Zimbabwe on June 18.

Known as ‘Baby Malinga’, the young bowling sensation Matheesha Pathirana has been included in the squad. Pathirana, who recently made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Afghanistan, took 19 wickets in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, helping Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clinch the coveted trophy.

Pathirana’s bowling style has led to similarities being noted between him and the iconic Lasith Malinga. Moreover, he is set to be a valuable member of the Sri Lankan squad, who are considered the frontrunners in their quest to secure one of the two available qualification spots from the tournament.

Apart from Pathirana, Dushan Hemantha, who made his first ODI appearance a week ago against Afghanistan, has also been named in the outfit. Experienced campaigner Angelo Mathews has been ignored in the side that Dasun Shanaka will lead. But Test skipper Dimuth Karunaratne has retained his place.

“The Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee selected the 15-member squad to compete in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament to be held in Zimbabwe. The team will leave for Zimbabwe on June 10, 2023. The above squad was approved by the Honorable Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Roshan Ranasinghe,” read a media release of Sri Lanka Cricket.

Sri Lanka squad for World Cup Qualifiers: Dasun Shanaka (c), Kusal Mendis (vc & wk), Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Sadeera Samarawickrama (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Dushan Hemantha

Cricket West Indies (CWI) recently announced the squad for the upcoming ODI WOrld Cup Qualifiers, set to begin in June in Zimbabwe. While the likes of Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder and others were part of the outfit, powerful-striker Shimron Hetmyer was absent from the squad.

Many fans left guessing as to what could be the reason behind Hetmyer’s absence, who has done relatively well in the limited-overs squad for the Windies. Now, Desmond Haynes, who is the lead selector of men’s cricket in West Indies, has revealed why Hetmyer was not picked for the WC Qualifier as well as the three-match ODI series against UAE in Sharjah.

Haynes said that Hetmyer did send an email confirming his availability for the UAE tour and WC Qualifiers but selectors decided not to include Hetmyer as Hope, who recently become the new captain for the ODI side, expressed his satisfaction with the unit that played in their last series against South Africa.

“Yes, Hetmyer was available. He did send through an email or correspondence to Jimmy [Adams], our director of cricket, stating that he was available for the tour. What we selectors decided to do was that we’ve just had a new [ODI] captain in Shai Hope and he was very happy to express his views about the type of camaraderie we had in the team in South Africa,” Haynes told reporters at a virtual presser.

“We as selectors saw commitment, we saw a real change in our approach to one-day cricket, and we thought it was only fair to stick with these guys,” he added.

Notably, Hetmyer has been absent from ODI matches since July 2021, and his most recent appearance for the national side came in a T20I match in August 2022. Further, he was excluded from the T20 World Cup squad last year due to his failure to board a rescheduled flight to Australia.
