SL vs NED Pitch Report
In this T20 World Cup, Kardinia Park, Geelong pitches have proven tough to chase any target in this format. Though this tournament has already seen two successful chasings at this venue by the Dutch side, those were very low totals, where the Dutch struggled to reach the target. The 160+ total seems very difficult to chase at this venue.
