Table of Contents

Netherlands vs Bangladesh will be the 28th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 28th at Edem Gardens. It is going to be the first World Cup Match of 2023 being played on Eden Gardens, and it is going to be a match between two teams who are already out of the World Cup

The Netherlands lost their spirit after winning against South Africa because they lost back-to-back matches in the World Cup first, it was by Sri Lanka, and then it was against Australia, who just defeated them with a very huge margin of 309 runs, which Australia put up a mammoth score of 399 runs and bowled out the Netherlands on just 90 runs.

Bangladesh lost their last match against South Africa by 149 runs, in which only Mahmudullah scored a century. Other than him, the whole team got out with a low score, which was Bangladesh’s worst performance. Quinton de Kock was the one who scored 174 runs against them, and then it was Klassen who scored 90 runs in 49 balls, which clearly shows the weakness of the bowling unit of Bangladesh.

It will be an exciting match between two sides who are not doing quite decent but will try to win their next match against the team not doing well in the World Cup. However, quality Bangladesh will have a slight upper hand because their player has experience at the big stage like the World Cup.

Team Preview Of Netherlands

The Netherlands needs to make a few changes in their batting unit, as the top order did not put up runs in any matches of the World Cup. It is a big concern now for the Netherlands, but they are also out of options to give a chance to other batters because there are no other options for them, making it tough for the team to rotate.

Important players for the Netherlands Team in the match against Bangladesh

1- Scott Edwards needs to give his best performance against Bangladesh if the Netherlands team wants some positives from the World Cup because they won only one. He scored quite decent in the World Cup and does have the best average in the ODI for the Netherlands.

2- Logan Van Beek took four wickets against the Australian side, and against Sri Lanka, he scored 50+ runs, which shows his amazing all-rounding skill. He has 15 wickets in the last 9 matches.

3- Bas de Leede was very expensive in his last match but needs to improve his bowling and batting as he is not clicking match in the World Cup, which is one of the reasons why the Netherlands is not doing well in the World Cup. He scored 333 runs and took 19 wickets in his last 9 matches.

Team Preview Of Bangladesh

Bangladesh needs to improve their all-around cricket because, in the past World Cups, they used to challenge big teams and even defeated teams like England and New Zealand in the World Cup, but in this World Cup, they did not good till now and won just one match against Afghanistan.

Important players for the Bangladesh Team in the match against Netherlands

1-Litton Das can score big runs and has all the skills to be their number-one batter, but he lacks the stroke play, which causes him to fumble when the required run rate goes high while chasing. He has a 32.79 average, but the potential is higher than his average.

2-Shakib Al Hasan is the most experienced player in the Bangladesh side, playing his fifth World Cup, but this time, he seems not fully fit, which is affecting his performance in the World Cup. He played 224 ODIs in which he scored 7440 runs with an average of 37.20 and took 314 wickets, which clearly shows why he has been in the top three rank in the All-Rounder category for a decade.

3-Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be crucial for Bangladesh against the Netherlands as they are not good players of spin, but he needs to be consistent with his line and length and also needs to score runs for his team.
