SL VS NED - 38th Match, Group D, ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2024

That's the tournament done for both Sri Lanka and Netherlands. There will be a lot of disappointment in the Sri Lankan camp for not progressing to the next round, but they've managed to sign off with a big win. As for Netherlands, they still had a slim chance of making it to the Super Eights before the game today, but just weren't good enough with bat or ball, not that it would've mattered after Bangladesh's win over Nepal. That's all we have from here. Until next time, it's goodbye.

Hasaranga: This win is very healthy for us after the first two games. We all saw the game last night where the wicket was really good. Wanted to put a score of 160-plus. We all know with our bowling attack it's a good total. In first two games, we lost 3-4 wickets in first six overs. Today we batted well in first six overs. He (Asalanka) has a very good talent and he proved today what he can do, especially in middle overs and the end. Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva also played a good part.

Edwards: The wicket was a little bit better than what we've been playing on. The margins of error were smaller. We missed (the mark) throughout those middle overs. We just didn't execute. The shorter side, and the wind going that way plays a part. Little bit disappointing but it's obviously a factor in the Caribbean. Probably a little bit of both. We had good patches throughout the tournament. You just can't afford that against good quality sides. You're out here to win the game. Can't fall too far behind as they've got good death bowlers. Will obviously sit down and reflect after the tournament. There's plenty to work on.

Charith Asalanka | Player of the Match - To be honest, the conditions are better here than in the USA. We all enjoyed the ball coming onto the bat and that allowed us to play our shots. I'm enjoying my finishing role, it's a tough place to bat at 5, you can come in at 10 for 3 or 100 for 3, I have to adjust to the conditions. I think I have to improve a bit more and be more consistent. Little bit disappointed about the results in the first two matches, but we enjoyed the tournament as a team.

23:37 Local Time, 03:37 GMT, 09:07 IST: Sri Lanka sign off with a thumping win as their campaign comes to an end. Netherlands are out as well. Given the result in St Vincent where Bangladesh beat Nepal, even a win here wouldn't have been enough for the Dutch, but they got nowhere close to a win, getting bowled out for just 118. For once, the Sri Lanka batters came to the party, leaving plenty of runs for their quality attack. The pitch was a good one to bat on, and a late flourish from the likes of Asalanka, Mathews and Hasaranga took them over 200. In reply, the Netherlands openers came out firing. However, it didn't take long for things to fall apart as all the frontline bowlers from Sri Lanka got themselves among the wickets.

N Thushara to van Meekeren, out Lbw!! Given out LBW, van Meekeren has reviewed. If he hasn't got bat, this is absolutely dead. Yorker on middle, he goes for the scoop but is hit on the pad. Smiles on the faces of the players because of the nature of the review. Absolutely plumb. Crashing into middle stump. van Meekeren lbw b N Thushara 3(8)

N Thushara to van Meekeren, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

N Thushara to Kingma, 1 run, 121.3kph, full ball on off, Kingma knocks it wide of cover

Vivian Kingma, right handed bat, comes to the crease

N Thushara to Edwards, out Caught by Theekshana!! Gone this time. Slower short ball outside off, Edwards is probably through the pull early and mistimes it to midwicket. Simple catch for the fielder. Edwards c Theekshana b N Thushara 31(24) [4s-2 6s-1]

N Thushara to Edwards, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

N Thushara to Edwards, FOUR, full and wde, Edwards reaches out and smears it through backward point

Nuwan Thushara [3.0-0-19-1] is back into the attack

Theekshana to Edwards, 1 run, length ball outside off, slapped to sweeper cover

Theekshana to Edwards, SIX, misjudgement in the deep and it goes for six! Tossed up on off, Edwards hits the slog-sweep against the wind, a chance for Shanaka in the deep and he doesn't even get a hand after a misjudgement

Theekshana to van Meekeren, 1 run, tossed up on off, googly, and van Meekeren knocks it wide of cover
