It was the Sri Lankan skipper Sanath Jayasuriya himself who sparked off their first major celebration. After opting to bat in the morning, Jayasuriya threatened to decimate the Netherlands bowling before being dismissed after making 36 off 36 balls. The man who claimed his scalp against the run of play was medium-pacer Victor Grandia.
