Netherlands vs Bangladesh

Netherlands (Match Odds- 3.20)

Preview:

In the World Cup, the Netherlands were always the underdog. They have been close in some games but were completely outclassed by the Australians in the most recent one, yet their performances have nonetheless pleased a lot of people.

After losing the toss, the Netherlands was placed first in the field. The Dutch were hammered for 399 runs in 50 overs, and they had no idea what had hit them. The bowlers were batted out of the game in the first innings because they were unable to withstand the onslaught. Continuing his remarkable form, Logan van Beek claimed 4 wickets at a cost of 74 runs.

To even come close to reaching the aim, the batting team had to be at full tilt. Regretfully, they lost the game by an astounding 308 runs after being bundled out for just 90 runs. The batting unit collapsed, and they’ll be hoping for a lot better from them in their next game.

Full Squad:

Scott Edwards (c), Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, Vikram Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Paul van Meekeren, Colin Ackermann, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Ryan Klein, Wesley Barresi, Saqib Zulfiqar, Shariz Ahmad, Sybrand Engelbrecht.

Players to watch out for:

Colin Ackermann

Netherlands’ leading scorer in the competition thus far is Colin Ackermann, who has 137 runs in 5 innings at an average of 27. In the last match, he failed to score while chasing a huge score but it is expected that he will return to his form in the game against Bangladesh.

Logan van Beek

Logan van Beek claimed 4 wickets at a cost of 74 runs in the match against Australia. The Netherlands bowling attack failed against Australia but it is still enough to damage Bangladesh batting order badly.

Possible Playing XI:

Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards(w/c), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Logan van Beek, Roelof van der Merwe, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren

Bangladesh (Match Odds- 1.35)

Preview:

Bangladesh would have liked to add a couple more victories to their record after winning the first match of their campaign. However, after four straight losses, their hopes of finishing in the top four may have been dashed.

Bangladeshi bowlers were humiliated by the batsmen after they lost the toss and were fielded by the potent South Africans. In their 50 overs, they let up an enormous 382 runs while only taking 5 wickets. The bowlers were all destroyed because they were unable to match that batting display.

Bangladesh was unable to perform a miracle in order to reach the objective of 383 runs. All that they could muster was 233 runs in 46.1 overs, bowled out. Mahmudullah, though, gave the tigers cause for celebration with an incredible 111 off 111 balls.

Full Squad:

Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Kumer Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto (vc), Tawhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Players to watch out for:

Mahmudullah Riyad

When Bangladesh’s batting order failed completely against South Africa, Mahmudullah was the only player to keep the Bangla Tigers’ dignity. He scored 111 in 111 balls against the Proteas. He is a threat in the middle-order batting line-up.

Mehidy Hasan

Mehidy was the only player who had a run rate below 5 in the match against Proteas. He can be the player who can turn around the match with his bowling ability. He will be the player to watch out for.

Possible Playing XI:

Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud
