Sri Lanka got their campaign back on track with a comprehensive 79-run win over UAE in Geelong
The UAE got off to a disastrous start in their chase and were reduced to 21 for four inside the first six overs of powerplay, with Chameera doing most of the damage for the 2014 champions by picking up three wickets in his first two overs. They never recovered from that false start and were bundled out for 73 as Sri Lanka bounced back.
Earlier, the Netherlands secured a nerve-racking, five-wicket win over Namibia that moved them a step closer to qualifying for the Super 12 stage. The Dutch, who edged UAE in a tense opener on Sunday, will play Sri Lanka in their final Group A match on Thursday with the Emiratis taking on Namibia; two of the four teams will go through to the next phase.
