Everyone was saying the Netherlands' win over South Africa was an upset, except for the Netherlands themselves.

While going into the tournament as favourites to finish bottom of the table, the men in orange have been resolute in their party line that they want to win the whole competition.

After two strong, but ultimately doomed, displays against Pakistan and New Zealand, they put together the complete performance to beat South Africa and inject life into the World Cup.

Against Sri Lanka, the Netherlands may even consider themselves favourites for the win.

Netherlands v Sri Lanka key player to watch

Dilshan Madushanka (Sri Lanka)

The left-armer bowled beautifully against Australia to pick up three wickets, and will be the main threat against the Dutch.

On paper, the Dutch are weaker against spin than they are against seam, and for that reason if Madushanka can make early inroads in their batting line-up - that’ll give Sri Lanka the best route to claiming their maiden victory of this World Cup.
