Another convincing win for Sri Lanka

AMSTELVEEN: Leg-spinner Kaushal Lokuarachchi snapped up four wickets for 44 as Sri Lanka posted a 55-run win over the Netherlands in the second One-Day International here on Thursday. Set a stiff target of 314 to win, the Netherlands managed 258 in 49 overs. Earlier, Upul Tharanga top-scored with 72 as Sri Lanka piled up 313 for eight in its allotted 50 overs.

Sri Lanka, which rested Sanath Jayasuriya, won the toss and opening batsman Tharanga blasted eight boundaries in his 72 from 72 balls to get the tourists off to flier.

Tillakaratne Dilshan provided able support with 66 from 59 deliveries, but although the majority of his teammates got themselves in, no one else managed to reach a half-century. — Agencies
