Bangladesh vs Netherlands Preview

Bangladesh, despite losing to South Africa last time out, are playing some good cricket. While the Netherlands have a history of causing a shock or two on the world stage, I don't see them overturning The Tigers in this game.

Netherlands Team News

Bangladesh’s Towhid Hridoy has scored 40 & 37 in his 2 World Cup innings.
Bangladesh’s Litton Das scored 36 off 38 balls in the win over Sri Lanka.
Netherlands’ Max O'Dowd has scored 33, 60 & 54* in his last 5 innings.
Netherlands’ Sybrand Engelbrecht top-scored with 40 in the loss to South Africa.

Head-to-Head

In their four previous games, Bangladesh have won on three occasions with the Netherlands coming out on top once.

Bangladesh Form

After winning their opener against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh fell just four runs short of a first-ever T20I win over South Africa.

Bangladesh bowled magnificently to reduce South Africa to 23/4 before ending their 20 overs on 113/6. The Bangladesh bowlers all put in a superb shift, with Tanzim Hasan Sakib (3/18, econ 4.50) returning the best figures with the ball for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh recovered from 50/4 to reach 94/4, but three quick wickets saw them lose a match that was within their grasp. Towhid Hridoy (37) and Mahmudullah (20) added a vital 44 for the fifth wicket before a tight umpire’s call broke the back of Bangladesh’s resistance.

Bangladesh Team News

Bangladesh are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. Their bowlers have performed better than the batters, and they will be looking for a strong performance with the bat.

Netherlands Form

After opening their World Cup campaign with a six-wicket win over Nepal, the Netherlands put up a strong fight against South Africa, before losing by four wickets with seven balls in hand.

Sybrand Engelbrecht (40) helped fight the Netherlands out of a slump at 48/6, but they could only scrape their way to 103/9 off their 20 overs.

South Africa recovered from 12/4 as the lower middle-order took them home with four wickets and seven balls to spare. Vivian Kingma (2/12, econ 3.00) was superb with the ball for the Netherlands.

Netherlands Team News

The Netherlands need to improve their batting and bowling and are likely to make some changes to their squad for this must-win match.

Verdict

Bangladesh v Netherlands

I am backing Bangladesh to win. I am also backing Towhid Hridoy to top score for Bangladesh.

Max O'Dowd is a good bet to top score for the Netherlands.
