BAN vs NED Teams Preview
Netherlands Preview
After winning the first fixture of their World Cup campaign, Bangladesh would have hoped to get a few more wins under its kitty. But with 4 losses in a trot, Bangladesh’s dream of qualifying in the top 4 might be a little vague. In their last fixture against South Africa after losing the toss & sent to the field first, Proteas bowlers were taken to cleaners by Bangladesh’s batters. They went on to concede 382 runs in 50 overs scalping 5 wickets. Their bowlers rattled South Africa’s batting order as Proteas looked ineffective with the willow in front of Bangladesh. Chasing a target of 383 runs Bangladesh would have needed a miracle to win the match. But here they failed miserably getting bowled for 233 in 46.1 overs. This is what they could manage in front of mighty South Africans. However, there was a moment of joy for the tigers as Mahmudullah scored a brilliant 111 off 111 balls. But that was of no use as Bangladesh eventually lost the fixture. Heading into this fixture against the Netherlands Bangladesh would hope to get back into the winning momentum by outclassing the Dutch unit.
