Feisty fifties from Sybrand Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek helped Netherlands to a competitive 262 against Sri Lanka in Match 19 of ODI World Cup 2023 here at Lucknow.

After early damage from Kasun Rajitha and Dilshan Madushanka had Netherlands reeling at 91/6, Sybrand Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek put together a crucial partnership for the Dutch.

They added 130 runs for the seventh wicket, which was a Cricket World Cup record for that wicket. Both batters got to their career-best scores: Engelbrecht getting to 70, while van Beek finishing at 59. Their stand helped the Dutch overcome a tricky phase and cross the 200-run mark.

Kasun Rajitha (4/50) and Dilshan Madushanka (4/49) starred with the ball for Sri Lanka.
